You really don't have programs on your browser, but Internet Explorer allows "Browser Helper Objects" to affect your browser. Some of these will always give you a tool bar, force you to a search page or unwanted help page, or open pop-up windows.
Download Adaware's free version of their software. It is the quickest, easiest solution for addressing these spyware and malware type of applications.

Hi, there are something wrong with your IE. i recommand you to try firefox. which is more safe than IE.
it can block that annoying ads and disable any virus on webpage. as you know, most virus are spread through internet.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
Download firefox for free in here:
