My Internet Explorer has gone nuts. Help!!!?

Question

I don't even use Internet Explorer but I keep getting pop ups from it . This happens constantly. How do I stop this? If you need additional information, just ask.

I use Firefox browser. They normally appear when I'm using the internet but sometimes it happens even when I'm not using the computer. I know their from IE because that's what the browser says. I have AVG, and I have been using it constantly but it doesn't seem to help. Every time I scan it finds more viruses.

Answer 1

You are infected with spyware and adware.

Download, install, update and run these two programs:

Then remove any infections.

Answer 2

What kind of pop ups?

Based on the information you just gave me though, you probably have a virus and/or adware. I would go into explorer, clear all data from there (Tools>Options). I would then run an Adware scan (I recommend SpyBot SD or Lavasoft AdAware) and then a virus scan (whichever one on your computer, otherwise look for AVG). Then, just in case you can Defrag your computer (right click on C drive then go into Properties and Tools I think).

Answer 3

Sounds like you've got some adware and other malware. I'd suggest you should run a scan with Spyboy Search & Destroy. That will probably find the malicious software and you can safely get rid of it.

Answer 4

This is most likely due to Malware (computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software). You will need to run full anti-virus/spyware scan and clean your registry. I recommend you use these programs (they are free).

1) AVG Free anti-virus

Answer 5

what form of dad ups? based on the assist you purely gave me however, you in all probability have a pandemic and/or spyware. i might pass into explorer, sparkling all records from there (tactics>strategies). i might then run an spyware test (i prefer to propose SpyBot SD or Lavasoft AdAware) and then a pandemic test (whichever one on your computing gadget, in any different case seek for AVG). Then, in simple terms in case you are able to Defrag your computing gadget (dazzling click on C stress then pass into homes and tactics i think of).

Answer 8

What browser do you use?
What exactly are you doing when they appear?
What do they say and how do you know they belong to IE?

Answer 9

You have spyware on board. Get 2 programs: ad-aware and spybot search and destroy. They are free (google them)
Once you run them they will get rid of this for you.
