You can try reinstalling it:
Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs then click the Windows Components button on the left then you just uncheck IE and it will uninstall. Then, go back into it and check it then it will reinstall. If that doesn't work, try FireFox...it works so much better than IE anyway.

Download a newer version of IE, then download Mozilla Firefox, a much better Internet Browser. For the most part you need IE only to access content off the microsoft website

Go here and learn about spyware:

In the mean time stop using Internet Exploder,
Even the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team recommends you use another browser.
"There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies related to the IE...It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser"

I recommend Firefox
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
