:wave and welcome to MG's.

Malware is one possibility so you would be advised to follow gimpster's advice.

Good luck.

 

I had a similar prob, and although I didn't have this sites malware removal process at the time, I did use other malware removal programs, but it kept happening. So I started using Mozilla Firefox which is free, and I 've had NO not one malware problem since then. Even now, every time I have to use IE to download something, like from Windows Update, it still malfunctions in many ways, so I don't even use it for that, I do the alternative with Firefox.

Good luck.

 

@ Shawn. IE should not be opening up on its own. A popup blocker *may* take care of the symptoms- but it does not fix the underlying problem.
