Now that we are in safe mode and we selected the user name the screen looks like this:
The next step is to cleanup Internet Explorer. Here's how we're going to achieve that:
1. Don't click yes or no to the warning. Clicking yes might launch a spyware program like Aurora.
2. Press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys at the same time and let them go. That should bring up the task manager. If it doesn't work then try Ctrl+Shift+ESC
3. On the top of the task manager click View and then click on Always on top so the task manager will not cover the other windows
4. To launch an application we will need to click File/New Task. In order to cleanup Internet Explorer we need to launch the Internet Options component of the Control Panel. For that we have to click File, New Task and execute: inetcpl.cpl.

5. That will launch the Internet Options Applet.
6. In here click Delete Cookies and Delete Files to delete all the data stored in the Temporary Internet Folder
7. Click on the top on Programs and then click Reset Web Settings to reset your home page to default.
8. Click on the top on Advanced and then make sure that the Enable 3rd party browser extensions option is unchecked. This is the most important part of the Internet Explorer cleanup process as it disables all the toolbars and add-ons that hijack Internet Explorer and control the web activity.

Go to the next slide to see a demo on how to start in safe mode and how to perform the Internet Explorer Cleanup.
You can also use the attached batch file if cleaning the Temporary Internet Files takes a very long time.
