I am having a real problem with internet explorer now. It
has started performing as a pop up ad regardless of what
activity currently being used. It totally takes over my
screen. This started about one week ago. Has anyone else
had this problem?
 
I am having the same problem. I think it is cased by
spyware. You might have to get a spyware remover.
 
If IE is taking up your whole screen, try pressing the F11
button. It toggles between full screen and normal
maximized.
 
Rule out parasites.
