If ya wanna keep going with I.E , i'd suggest you have a firewall in place also..Most likely you'll have to maually delete this virus from your registry.
boot to safe mode , put in the search box that name of the .exe virus & search it out in the registry, deleting all the names it comes up with.
then right click my comp./ prperties/ sys rest. tab/ turn off system restore. then delete all files in the pre-fetch folder in the windows folder.
that should take care of it....Let's hope.
