    Tracy, I'd run a virus scan, that is not something the Internet Explorer does unless there's some malware involved.

    www.malwarebytes.org (or dot com)

    Make sure you don't install the trial version unless you are going to uninstall it right away. Uncheck the box that says 'run trial version'.

    Run the full scan, not the quick one.

    It's not a virus. This is what I just found out: http://adinfo.aol.com/?pid=aol01&aid...05&w=160&h=600. So then I was able to opt out here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/#completed.

    I have malwarebytes but not the trial version. I also run superantispyware a lot and I keep it updated.

    I use Firefox and use the Adblock Plus add-on. Wonderful combo!

    My repair tech did a virus check, found a lot of them and fixed them up. When I brought my PC home, I still had problems with the hyperlinks. Tech recommended installing Chrome, which he did, and the problem was solved. I was a little worried when I read Tuesday's Dog of the Day,
    But everything was OK.
