IE Windows open and open and open..HJ Log included

[abdiel2007]

Help! I have a laptop that I would like to clean up and give to a friend. There's only one problem: IE keeps opening windows and will not stop. It is almost impossible to open and use other windows while this is going on because the new IE windows become the "top" open window. Please help.

Here is the HijackThis log file:

If you wish to clean it up then, seriously, you should reinstall windows. Do you have the installation CD? Or is it one that came with a System Recovery folder on the HD? Perhaps that is accessed by F10, or Alt-F10, or somesuch keycode during POST...Recovery would take it back to the as-new status. Small tip. Adobe reader -unless you use it professionally to produce pdf's, get Foxit -it's free also, but farnaway better. Smaller. Update Java and install SP2.
