internet explorer problem

[lagigolo]

Very rarely use i/e anymore. But opened it up for the first time the other day and it created a new html link in the start menu saying "Get free registration codes". If i delete it every time i start i/e it appears and i/e crashes. I have looked at the link properties and it points to the i/e.exe but with freshdevices.com on the end.

Can't seem to find any info about it and no anti-spyware or anti-virus is seeing anything different.

make a link to iexplore.exe..?

also, google reset internet explorer settings - that will often get rid of unwanted shite which has attahed to ie..

Yup Safe mode with networking.
Disk clean up delete system restore points.
Download and run 'rkill.exe' to stop hidden dodgy services.
Download install, update and run malwarebytes.

i have previously run malwarebytes but didn't do it all in safe mode though, but will give it a try.
