Removing IE6

This is an addendum to my previous message. Regarding my
search of the Registry to find the entries that this mal-
ware program has loaded, when I go into HKEY_CURRENT_USER
under Software, I find a suspicious entry: aaa_soft with
several sub-folders. It turns out they contain various
information related to how the malware displays itself on
a toolbar that opens in IE6. I remove the offending
entries, only to have them turn up again when I reboot and
go back online. I search all the keys for similar
entries, found them and deleted, only to have them
reappear. So they are being loaded back into memory
either from my system or the Internet. I believe there is
a program operating somewhere in my system that activates
code to insert the offending entries back into the
registry.

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

I just did a Google for aaa_soft and a few promising looking hits appeared.
Take a look.

Thank you for this helpful information. Can you tell me=20

this browser so that it can't be uninstalled, because=20
that's what appears to be the case. If that is the case,=20
I will be immediately switching to another browser=20

Well, remember that MS has been saying that IE is a part of the OS.

Why not try in an IE group.
