Windows Explorer starting on it own

[Mike SUllivan]

I am having a problem with Explorer starting up by it's
self. I have a dsl so it's on all the time. I must have
downloaded something that starts explorer, and the site
it goes are all XXX sites and I have a child that I do
not want to see. I hope someone can help me find what is
doing this.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Download ad-aware from here:
