Internet Explorer Opens off the screen....

Hello,

I have a few basic problems I would appreciate any help..

- I have tried many times to open Internet Explorer and it opens and shoots off the screen to the right.

-It also keeps opening a search200.com bar at the bottom of the screen even when I use Software (hijackthis) to delete it.

- I have a firewall set up albeit may be set up incorrectly how do I check to make sure it is connected??

- I also keep getting Internet Explorer open when I do not click on it showing Adds and some GOFOX.COM/ and Casinos or something like that adverts

Please help me get internet explorer back to how it should be and how can I prevent this from happening again and what programs (free if possible) I would need I want to block all pop ups and pornographic material.

Thanking you in advance
 
Gary,

Personally I would try LavaSoftAdaware
(www.lavasoftusa.com) to remove the spyware (making sure
it's up-to-date). If this doesn't then it looks like you
are going to need to do a manual removal, which is a bit
sticky.

Give Ad-Ware a go and if that doesnt work post back.

As for testing you firewall, this site is very good for
reporting any issues you may
have:https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

And run the test there, it will report all issue of ports
that are currently open on your machine.

To prevent this kind of stuff happening again, I would
recommend just being a bit more cafeful about what you
install. If a web page pop's up and installer and you
dont know what it is or it a website you dont trust,
don't click "Yes", that the most frequent way people get
SpyWare
