    Ads keep popping up each time I open Internet Explorer


    Each and every time I open Internet Explorer, an add pops up. I believe this was caused for downloading something accidentally and it was evidently a browser hijacker. Below is the screenshot. Please let me know what I need to do to fix it.

    Fixed it. It had a virus. MBAM and SAS removed the entries and it took away the ads in Internet Explorer.
