This problem started a few days ago. When I open an IE BROWSER another one will pop up a few seconds later. The second one will be an ad but it won't always be the same one. It could be for VBS.TV, NEXPLORE.COM, PREMIERECARDOFFERS.COM, HOWIMADECASH.COM, etc.

This problem does not occur in Firefox, which is the browser I primarily use. I only use IE for a specific application because the company I work for requires IE for their application to work. I am also using IE 6, because I haven't seen the need to upgrade to IE 7 or IE 8 as of yet.

I'm using the current version of AVG as my antivirus software. I have run CCleaner, SuperAntiSpyware, MalawareBytes, and HiJack This. The logs are attached.

I have also checked the list of applications in Add/Remove Programs and the only one that I can identify as possibly suspicious is called Otto.

I would appreciate any assistance on this issue. Thanks.

[ATTACHMENT deleted by admin]Probably is some kind of malware or spyware issue that needs malware specialist's attention but in the meantime....

1. Try resetting internet explorer, here's instructions ... see what happens

2. You might want to try IE Tab addon for firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419I FOLLOWED the link to the instructions for resetting IE but it seems to APPLY to IE 7. As I mentioned I'm still using IE 6 and the only option it offered was to Restore Defaults. I tried that but it didn't resolve the issue. Thanks anyways.Problem seems to be resolved.  Turns out it was a fairly new malware app called QualityProductAdviser http://www.superantispyware.com/malwarefiles/QUALITYPRODUCTADVISER.DLL.html which the latest update of SuperAnti Spyware was ABLE to clean up.
