Hello! I'm hoping that some is able to help me with my problem!

I never use Internet Explorer but yet I've started receiving Internet Explorer popups when using FIrefox. Research around the internet has shown me that this looks like a really scary problem, so I was wondering if anyone could help me sort it!

Many thanks!
 
This is not an appropriate post for the Virus and Malware removal forum. IT should be in Windows OS.

You can try this to see if it resolves the problem:
One of the browsers has to be set as the default. This is the browser that links will open in.

For Firefox to be the default:
Open Firefox> Tools> Options> Advanced> System Defaults> CHECK 'Firefox should check to see if it's the default browser'> click on Check now> answer Yes.

Then do this:

Open Internet Explorer> Tools> Internet options> Programs> UNCHECK 'Internet Explorer should check to see if it's the default browser'> Apply> OK
 
I've tried that already and I'm still getting the popups :S. They happen every 2-3 minutes which is really annoying.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what might be causing it?
