Internet Explorer launching after startup

Something just got in to my computer lately. Every time I boot up my
computer, Internet Explorer 6.0 starts automatically and stays silently in
task manager. Then during the day it keeps sending out popup windows with
all kind of advertisements. I have to go to task manager\process tab to
kill it. How do I stop this?

TIA

It's called Spyware. Do a search on it, there are free scanning and removal
tools out there.
