Default Problem on startup

Whenever I boot my PC I get the error message box
headed 'hole' with the error 'hole has encountered a
problem and needs to close'

On clicking for more information the error signature is
AppName: iedll.exe which is a windows file.

What is this and how can I eliminate the annoying problem.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

This seems to be caused by spyware and browser hijacker called CoolWeb (Also
called

"CoolWebSearch"). This software can cause massive slowdowns in IE, it can
cause IE to be redirected to various websites, such as
http://www.luckysearch.net/ , www.datanotary.com, www.coolwebsearch.com ,
hardloved.com , www.slawsearch.com , global-finder.com, redirections to
adult sites, start page/search pages changed to allhyperlinks.com (or
xwebsearch.biz, searchdot.net, searchv.com, madfinder.com), addition of
activexupdate.com (or anything with .masspass.com) in the IE Trusted Zone,
and many other symptoms.

In order to remove it, you may use "CWShredder", a program designed to get
rid of CoolWeb. Available at
http://www.spychecker.com/download/d...wshredder.html

More up-to-date information and the most up-to-date file (because new
variants seem to come out all the time) looks to be available at:
