When I boot up my laptop in the morning Internet Explorer 6 launches automatically to a pornographic website. When I close the site it doesn't reappear till I boot up again the next morning. IE homepage is unchanged and there are no new dial-up accounts in Outlook. I'm running Windows XP, Office Professional XP, Outlook 2002, and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.11.06. (SP2) Also running PC-Cillin 2004, Spam Inspector and Pop-UP Inspector.

How can this happen when I'm not even opening IE 6? But more importantly - how can I prevent this?

Thanks for any guidance. Jonathan
