All i did was end the process and just not use IE at all and that worked for me...Check to see if IE is running in your backround

Well.... i sugest that you do a scan for spyware and ad ware using adaware and spybot first.... ;/

you can get them....

adaware: here
spybot: here

and if you really hate IE that much...you can uninstall it after that =p
