Active X and Task manager closing (W2K)

[balmes]

A friend of mine recently clicked on a link in a friends AIM away message on entitled "Pics of me on the beach." Since then my computer has had several problems, including task manager closing after only a few seconds and security options being changed on my computer, such as cookies and active X as well as other security options in internet explorer and folder viewing. I changed my settings in IE but I keep getting an error when I want to open a folder saying, "Your current settings prohibit running activeX controls on this page, as a result this page might not display correctly," and nothing appears in the folder window. I scanned with avast home, spy sweeper and ad-aware and the computer is clean, Im just not sure if/how I can change all my settings back to normal. I have also listed a hijackthis log if that is of any help.

I just set all my content settings back to default and can view everything fine in IE and on my system, but task manager still closes after only a few seconds. Any help is appreciated.
