Two days ago my machine started going balistic with ads and crap. I have run all the usual applications to remove spyware/malware/adware/virus to no avail. Approximately every 4-5 minutes Internet Explorer will launch itself and open a window usually going to some website that ends in yyy53.html the most common are www.searc-h.com/normal/yyy53.html and www.virtual-free.com/normal/yyy53.html. I have searched google and apparently others are having this same problem but I have not seen any suggestions on what is causing it or how to fix it. Help, I am blasted tired already of these stupid self lauching browser windows.
