Take Over of Internet Browser

Asked by dtaylor42863 in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Web Browsers

In the last week, each time I access the Web, within 1 minute of being online, two new web pages will appear.  Neither page accesses any content.  The message I get from IE is "HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found."   I am not initiating this action. Also, I am getting "pop-up" web pages without clicking any links.

I reinstalled Windows Vista to stop the problem.  I also installed Trend Micro but it only blocks some pop-ups rather than all of them.   My IE Pop-Up Blocker is enabled; so is my IE Phishing monitor.

What is happening here? How do I fix it? Thanks.      Start Free Trial
