I rarely use Internet Explorer. Sometimes when I use the computer the computer opens up an IE windows with some sort of advertisement. My computer has also been running rather slow lately, which concerns me. I have Ad-Aware, Malware bytes and avg.
i used hijack this and this is the log that was created. Any help would be appreciated
