Greetings.

I just now have taken on some kind of unknown program which is forcing my IE
browser to not go to the pages I tell it to go.  I already tried several
attempts to close and reopen IE, but the same thing keeps happening.

I had not previously visited any sites that I wasn't sure of.  So, I don't
think I did anything to load it in.

I would appreciate any advice on how to isolate and remove this overriding
force and disturbance.  When it first happened.  A separate window came up
and said that if I was seeing these sites, I had "spy software" installed on
my PC.  It told me to accept an offer to download something to remove it.
But, I did NOT do this, fearing worse problems from an unknown invasion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
