    Default Internet Explorer keeps opening by itself. Plz help!

    Internet Explorer randomly opens to a Google search page. I thought I had disabled IE, as I only use Firefox.

    Every time I reboot and start Firefox, a message says FF is not my default browser. I tried it with Safari and the same thing happens.

    And when I do search Google and click a link, it tries to take me to some random site. Spybot found nothing so I bought AVG and it found nothing. However, AVG firewall does keep popping up telling me IE is trying to access the internet.

    Please, oh great ones, can you help?

    Hello Benjie,

    In case you missed it please see the FAQ which also includes guidelines for this forum and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the preliminary "DDS" logs used for analysis.
    "BEFORE You POST"(Please read this Procedure Before Requesting Assistance)

    Then start a new topic providing the logs requested and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available.

    Best regards.
