Hi,
My Internet Explorer opens for no reason and it's driving me crazy. I know what happened too. My girlfriend installed something from the Internet and then it started. She said that when she installed it nothing really installed so I am guessing it installed some malware. Its all ads that are in the Explorer windows.
I ran Hijackthis and here is the log file. Thanks so much for the help!
