Question Has spyware zapped my PC?

Can anyone suggest how I can get my old PC back on line after it was apparently zapped by Spy or adware?

Whenever I try to start up IE I get this message:

"Downloading from site:res://C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHDOCLC.DLL/dnserror.htm"

I had NAV, Zone Alarm and Spybot running, but after my son used the machine for an MSN session with his chums, we found more than 140 cases of a spyware file (the name of which I can't remember) and when we deleted them all we lost IE shortly afterwards. Rest of my network is OK and cable signal is still fine to a laptop and a Mac

I hope to fix this today so that the family can use the machine while I am away from tomorrow.

cheers

SS
