Save me from IE

[Karen]

Please help me. I am forced to use IE7 for a website that I am required to do
reporting on. I 'ave 2 programs installed to stop threats but it is still
opening on it's own and going to spam pages.

I use a pc only to access the one page I am required to and must also use
IE7. I use a Mac and Firefox for everything else and never have an issue. I
only have a problem with this.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
