I have been experiencing the same problem. Here's what I did, but I don't
know if this will work permanently. I added my default IE page to my
Favorites. Now whenever I want to go to a website that is not in my
Favorites, I go to my Favorites from the Start menu and then go to that
website. I then press Control O as normal, and everything works from there.
My default IE page happens to be the ACB website. I'd be curious to know if
anyone else has a different fix for this problem.

Subject: browser invasion
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.
