Hi,

Nearly always caused by malware. These programs can help him clean it out:

Adaware www.lavasoft.de
Spybot www.safer-networking.org

This one can help you avoid these programs from being installed in the first
place:
Spyware Blaster: www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Warning: If you are not an experienced user be careful. The beta is giving
a lot of false positives and you can break things removing some of what it
"finds".

Agreed.
Steer clear of ANY Beta programs. Wait until they're finalised and
completely debugged.
They're not intended for the average user, but only for approved MS
Beta-testers.
I'm surprised that MS has made this one available to the public for
downloading without any provisos.

but not necessarily - IE might be in the Startup folder - which would cause it to
launch at boot-up into Windows.

Hi Andrew,

As I said, "nearly always". Generally, a shortcut for IE isn't going to get
into the startup folder unless the user placed it there. Malware, however,
causes all sorts of unpredictable behavior.
