The issue I am facing is, even though I use Google chrome as my default browser, Internet Explorer browser (v7) automatically opens up. I am running Window XP SP 3.
Nothing was detected by scans via Norton Antivirus. Then I ran SpyBotSD (v1.6.2) and it detected an infected registry key. The problem is even after deleting this key, it re-creates itself and is again detected in subsequent SpyBot scans.
The infected key is - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Taskman
Under no circumstance do I want to re-load the OS. Is the infected key the cause of IE automatically opening up, or are these two isolated issues? Any help in a permanent fix for the issue(s) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
