I think my I.E. browser got infected with a spyware/ virus.
It displays some bad languages in the title bar. I have used ad-aware to remove spyware but it doesn't fix the problem. Can someone please advice how to fix this problem?

If you know the spyware/trojan/virus name, then it's quite easy. Normally you should be able to find the solution/spyware removal on the web. If not, then you can use HijackThis and remove any unwanted things that you have. Please be aware that use HijackThis only if you're sure what you're doing. Some of the forums require you to post the HijackThis log for them to be able to help.

I think you can try SPYBOT which has its own scanner for detecting all Malware/Spyware. You can get it for free.Check out this link
