it surely is a trojan on your system. Its hooking up the default browser to bypass the firewall. Get an av/is and scan your pc or boot into a live os and remove the unwanted startup apps from your offline system. Checkout autoruns from sysinternals. it can scan an offline system for startups.

Get some antivirus program and scan your system and even then if the problem prevails, try re-installing Internet Explorer or simply try to update/upgrade it. I hope that would help :)
