    How do I shut down (as in disable) IE. For some reason it has begun to open on it's own. I use Firefox and Opera but as of last night IE has popped-up and redirects to random sites.

    Uhoh, you have got a browser hijack. Go to the malware forum and do the Read and Run me procedure, it takes a while but very often it gets rid of the crap. If it still persists then start a thread posting the logs that you got. Good luck.

    Hi

    I agree with Augie and if IE is never used over the other browsers then do run the read me malware guide and look into your surfing and downloading habbits as they are likely to be the cause of this over IE.
