Please do this
(Some members say they have already tried this in a reply; but later I find it has not been done!)
The following not only resets all Internet Explorer's settings, but also removes all temp files, all extensions are disabled (toolbars, browser extensions, and Browser Helper Objects), and activeX controls are restored.



How to use Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES

4. When Internet Explorer 7 finishes restoring the default settings, click Close, and then click OK two times.
5. Close Internet Explorer 7. The changes take effect the next time that you open Internet Explorer 7.

Try this:

Start-->Run --> CMD

Type in each line (actually just copy and paste one at a time) then press enter

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset catalog

netsh int ip reset reset.log

netsh winsock reset

It resets your network connection
We have already reset IE

The next step would be scan for Malware, ie here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic109461.html
