Spyware ISSUES!!!

AHHH

well ok,, so a friend asked if I could help speed up her computer, instead of actually going and doing it myself,, I told her to download ad-aware and run it.. She did it found some 300 spyware files and removed them.... Well then the fun starts now when she clicks Internet explorer it wont work,, she says it just keeps flickering at her about some error report.. Well,,,, we were talking over aol instant messenger,,, so I though huh must be an IE problem as we still had a connection.. So we tried to repair IE through control panel but get this error


due to the following errors: version 3/0/8168 of file ATL.DLL exists, but the version needs to be greater

^^ or so she tells me

I tell her to reboot,, when she does now she can't get on AIM anymore,,, but all the light are working properly on her modem and the internet connection is ok

However Internet explore 6 and Aol instant messenger cant connect anymore...
She is using windows 98
*** is going on?

Try LSP fix or winsockxp fix , it sounds as if winsock is bad. I know winsockxp works for 98 as well as xp.

Send a message via AIM to Panama Red
If you select IE in the Add/Remove Programs area, it will give you a repair option.
