Fake Internet Explorer Removal Help.

by eddy315west . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Ok first of all i know this is not an official internet explorer. second i have 2 other computers that this does not happen on at all. here is my problem.

I use windows live messenger . and when i recieve a email a little box pops up. usually i click on that box and it takes me to my inbox. but lately its been taking me to a fake looking internet explorer. which in the past never did . ive scanned my pc using kaspersky internet security and it removed it and now all of a sudden its back again . so i used superanti spyware and i have no spyware whatsoever so i know its not spyware.
i have noted also it opens one page where its ask me for my email and password like hotmail.com does and it opens a second blank page. and just so you know i use internet explorer 7 these look like ie6 and with weird icons here are the pictures .

both pictures of this fake ie :

now on my other 2 computers when i click on th envelope in the windows live messenger or the popup box alerting me i recieve an email it takes me directly to my inbox doesnt ask me to log in like in those 2 pictures and my ie7 on all 3 pcs dont look like those 2 pictures

any help or info would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance , eddy
