PC was dumping to BSOD randomly and IE explorer (v6) will crash with an application error. Ran all of the tools in eXperience’s post; found and cleaned quite a bit of spy/malware. BSOD seems to have stopped but IE still crashes.
Attaching HJT log, have not cleaned anything w/ HJT yet

I looked at your HijackThis log file and found that you might be infected with the internet worm SDBOT.COV!
This is in reference to http://process.networktechs.com/aolsoftware.exe.php about C:\Program Files\AIM6\aolsoftware.exe; please also see http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_SDBOT.COV.
This was my only findings, you may want to backup this file remove it and see how your computer acts. If your computer gets better, you know that this was malware and you are safe to remove the backup copy. If your computer has no change, you know that this is not the source of your problems and you will need to update your current anti-virus software and do a full system scan.
If you need more assistance, you can PM (Personal Message) me, or contact me directly at trappmanrhett@yahoo.com .

May be check the file properties to see who the maker is? Or try the Trend Micro online scan?
Have you tried another browser?
IE6 was stopped in development.
