That's good that you now have internet, but it sounds like you still have some adware/spyware installed.

Do another scan using MBAM and then download and install Kaspersky 30-day trial (http://kaspersky.com/) Update kaspersky and run a full scan.

I don't think it's possible to completely remove IE, as many of its components are needed for other stuff.
In add/remove programs -> Windows components, I think it just lets you remove shortcuts to it, but not remove its core.

But IE isn't the problem, rather a symptom of the adware, so best to get rid of it.

This might not be great advice but i've had the same problem, it asks for credit card details i just kept entering any odd ones till it accepted and went, i then removed it by reformating computer as it lets u once u enter in card details.

Actually since posting my last post in this thread I haven't seen anything. Not sure what's happened to it but it's looking good. I'll keep this advice in mind if the problem comes back, thanks

I'm past all that now, it was just a few remains still hanging around but as I say, everything seems fine now.

BACKUP. FORMAT. REINSTALL.

I just got rid of this virus this morning mate, I tried the F8 method too but it didn't work. As soon as my PC loaded I quickly went to the system restore (start > all progs > accessories > system tools > system restore) I did it rapid, like proper, and it worked.

Yeah I was trying to do that too but even if I got to the last window before the bug popped up again, it wouldn't let me run the process anyway because the bug was stopping all applications from responding.

Anyway, that Malwarebytes thing seems to have sorted everything nicely

Why not just go to control panel > add/remove programs > locate this fake spyware and remove it?

Because it blocks you from doing anything, windows loads up and you just cant do anything
