I have successfully deleted adware from my Explorer program by using AdAware. I had to (shudder) download netscape to get it
on a memory stick and then to apply it to my IE prgrm. However, now I am unable to run my IE program at all. It now says
"page not available" for any address used.

I have tried to download Internet explorer from Microsofts website, but the same problem exists.

Any suggestions?

Eh? What on earth does THAT all mean? What EXACTLY did you try to do?

Try running the lspfix (Winsock repair edit). You can get it here
