When I come back to my pc after being away for a while, I find Internet
Explorer has launced itself. I've run adware and spybot s&d to remove
unwanted programs. McAfee virus scan runs a full scan twice a week. I
suspect this is some unwanted spyware, but have yet to find what is causing
this spcific problem. I have bumped up firewall to tight security, but it's
still happening on a regular basis. Why is IE launcing itself? Can I stop
it?
 
run your scans in safe mode make sure all definitions are up to date. Is IE
opening up on a weird page?
Check the event viewer. Go to Start run type in eventvwr see what messages
are there

If you are not connected to the internet I unplug your network cable or
phone line what happens?

connecting Have you run windows update recently with no problems?

Windows updates have been running with no problem. I checked and automactic
updates are not turned on.
