internet explorer problem

J

Jeremy

While using internet explorer, a pop-up add appeared in
front of my cursor as I was clicking on a link. I clicked
before I reacted to the add and it went to pop-up's web
site and installed some software. I unisntalled all of it
after, but now there is a problem in internet explorer.
Whenever I try to search from the address bar, it brings
up a web site ignkeywords.com. I cant explain why. It is
set to search using MSN search from the address bar and
it always goes to that web site. Can anyone help?
