"had spyware on my computer and installed Windows destroyer, Spybot,
Suprtantispyware and Spyware Buster.
I am no longer getting advertising 'pop ups' or warning messages,
however i do get a blank screen keep coming up with nothing on it -
just ""Windows Internet £xplorer" in the blue bit at the top!
Does not seem right to me.
Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of/ stop this?"

Try the method here first:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

If no joy, try this:
Click: Start>Run> Type: sfc /scannow
In order to avoid the use of the XP CD for "sfc /scannow" repair, follow
the instructions on http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html.
Navigate to the location in the registry to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\Curr entVersion\SetUp
and set SourcePath(in the right panel) to C:\ if you have the folder
"i386" in your C drive.
