Any-find Hijacked

Greetings learned folk,

My machine has mistakenly befriended a vile character answering to the name 'any-find'. This fellow is egocentric and insists on being a 'home page'.
In order to relief this condition, I thought that he might like to meet a friend of yours, Spybot S&D.
Then a friend-of-a-friend, 'HijackThis' took a look at Any-find and produced the following log report:

Restart to safe mode.

How to start your computer in safe mode

Because XP will not always show you hidden files and folders by default, Go to Start > Search and under "More advanced search options".
Make sure there is a check by "Search System Folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search system subfolders"

Next click on My Computer. Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Now find and delete:

The C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEengine.exe file


IMPORTANT!: I highly recommend that you go to Windows update and install all "Critical Updates and Service Packs" ASAP!. This will patch numerous security holes in IE and Windows.
