Try this. Click start, in search box type in msconfig. If that search box doesn't come up click on run and type in msconfig. You will end up at a system configuration box. Click on the start up tab and look for the pop ups there. If not found there, click the services tab and look there. You need to know every thing in the pop up so you will recognize what you are looking for. If you find, un check the box or boxes. Write down all you un check so if you make an error you can go back and reinstate. There may be a hundred items in services tab so start at the bottom of scroll down box.

IE Defender is a rouge anti virus you should remove that thing before things get wrost. Then this what worked for me I went to start then went to disk cleaner. And I search view files then search for the date you had that problem find that file. It should be a unknown file and delete it. and try your internet brower and see if your problem is gone. Good Luck
