Actually, I am so rarely using Internet Explorer, so I might only give some presumption.. Maybe it is something related with Internet Explorer's Add Ons? Try to open yours, Tools Manage Add Ons And then try search for the suspicious one. The name of that Add-Ons may be "Mega Search" or may be something else. Then after pick one, choose disable Or maybe it is something related with spyware? Try to install and run "Spybot - Search & Destroy". You can download it for free from the internet :) Hope it helps

Well, it is because most spyware isn't harming computer, so most anti virus isn't killing it.. But it can be really annoying, right? "Spybot - Search & Destroy" would be a great specialized tools to remove one. Well, there's many other software out there that also works that way, it's just I haven't try them all yet :p. And actually, I agree with your decision: to use Chrome instead of Internet Explorer..
