I applied today's security update as prompted by Windows
Update and it installed a pop-up ad that opens everytime
IE is launched!

What kind of garbage is this?

How do I get rid of it? Why did Microsoft do this?

How do you spell class action?
 
There are malicious emails circulating that pertain to be a security update
from MS, or as undeliverable mail. If you installed this update from an
email you received then I am afraid that you have been Hijacked.
Windows Updates are only available on-line from the Start=>Windows Update
menu item or from the Tools=>Windows Update menu item in IE. As far as I
know MS does not issue updates by email.
