    get rid of internet explorer as that is probably some spyware/adware or something.

    do a check on your virus thingy and make sure everything is up to date but i would strongly suggest this instead

    Try removing it in Control Panel (Go to Add/Remove Programs) and look for it in there. If you can find it click on it once and then click 'Remove'.

    If it's adware or malware, it may not have a remove option.

    In which case, refer to dodgy's bible of all things PC (the sticky at the top of the 'Geeks' thread page :D), this will point you in the direction of some good adware removal tools (Ad-Aware and SpyWare Doctor being the two I can think of off the top of my head).
