HELP!!! Whats wrong with my Internet Explorer? =[

i have some weird spyware/adware things on my comp that messes with IE. whenever i go to a site that doesn't work, it redirects me to this errorplace.com page, and then to a lycos search page. i also get random pop-ups. i ran ad-aware and spybot S&D several times but they didn't get rid of it. i went to errorplace.com and they had this program which is supposed to uninstall the redirecting thing. i don't know if it was a good idea, but i downloaded it and ran it. it said to exit out of IE but i did, and it didn't do anything else. i searched on google for "errorplace.com" but got nothing. help!

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/c...tml#cwshredder , and download the latest version of CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom, the creator of Hijack This.
Run it, press 'Fix', and allow it to fix all it finds.
And remember to click "Fix" (Not "Scan only")

reboot

Download AdAware 6 181 from here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
Then ........

Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"

Then......

Click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"

Then.........

Go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"

Then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.

Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.

When scan is finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.(Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu)


Then
Download Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de

After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.
Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED

reboot

Run an online antivirus check from at least one and preferably 2 of the following sites....
