I use Firefox as an internet browser. Anytime I use the search engine Google and try and click on a link, that is not an advertisement, a new tab starts and it directs me to some random advertisement or ad site. The other problem is when I view my Windows Task Manager and view the individual processes, iexplorer.exe appears. I have completely uninstalled Internet Explorer from my computer other than the Firefox add-on that allows me to view websites using the IE engine instead of the Firefox engine. So even when I end the IE.exe process, it reappears after 5-10 min. Also about once a day, the IE.exe will start a voice ad. Just a random advertisement will play through my speakers. Even though I see the IE.exe process, there is never an actual IE window or tab open.

If anyone has any input on what I can do to get rid of this Browser Hijacker, please let me know. Thanks.

Frank
