Internet Explorer opens by itself (to pop-ups)

[jackiesk]

I typically use mozilla/firefox as my web browser and only occasionally use internet explorer. Recently, internet explorer has been opening by itself and always to pop-up ads. My symantec antivirus program has also been detecting trojan viruses around the same time that the problem with internet explorer began. Below are attached .txt files and the .log files from the GMER scans. Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Did you get Mbam to remove what it found?

[jackiesk]

Yes, it did remove the threats found. I have had no problems since finishing the initial cleaning. Do you think that may have solved it?

[Rik from RCE]

It's likely as Mbam is a very good bit of software. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on things and report back here if you get any further problems!

[jackiesk]

Ok, thank you so much for your help!

No problem at all!
