I was infected with Spyware Protect 2009 - I hijacked my Internet Explorer. I was finely able to get to the malisous tool software downloaded and got rid of the Spyware Protect 2009 software. Now I have access to Internet Explorer - with no add ons and can't seem to be able to get them back. Everytime I try something my system tells me microsoft can not access. So, am unable to get any Windows updates. I do NOT have Vista -- but XP Any suggestions? Thank youAnonymous

Follow these instructions, u can solve ur prob:
1.Go to Run, type regedit and hit enter
2.Go here CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDesktopSafeModeComponents
3.Select the value DeskHtmlVersion
4.Select the Decimal radial button
5.Change the value of 272 to 0
6.Most of the time it might take a few seconds for your background to appear and other times…you might need to restart your computer.
