alright so this isnt exactly a suprise to me, i know where it started but im not sure how to make it stop. internet explorer (which i never use) keeps poping up after my computer idles for awhile. it has pages that say i have viruses and the like. even one that shows a "webroot has found a problem" on the page. there are also smaller windows that open with only text saying ive viruses on my comuter. i have clicked the "ok" on them to close them but they just pop up again. i usually have had to use task manager to close internet explorer.
so questions are: from what youve seen, have i done anything i shouldnt have? and how do i stop this?
thanks for reading.
Internet explorer keeps poping up, need some help
oh also i ran some scans with webroot and nothing pops up a theat. plus after i downloaded what i believe to be the cause of this infection i quickly uninstalled anything new that had shown up after the download.
