Hello Nynole,
Yes spywares are affecting pc system but only about the speed when connected to internet.
Otherwise they don't work.
Apparently you have two distincts problems:
1) one with your IE
2) second with your memory ram
To resolve 1) you need to repair your internet explorer, go to your control panel, find program "add & remove programs", open it, find line "internet explorer and his tools", open it, 3 options, one is "repair", send procedure to check for damaged or corrupted files, that will fix this problem.
To resolve 2) download the following freewares to rid of cookies spywares:
Adaware: http://lavasoft.element5.com/default.shtml.en
SpywareBlaster:
http://lavasoft.element5.com/default.shtml.en
don't forget to update weekly theses programs, and clean your system.
Your computer should work perfectly after that.......
