problem with ie

General Topics
1

i use firefox as my default web browser and from the past two days the internet explorer has been malfunctioning. While i am using firefox the ie automatically starts with" C:\WINDOWS\p3.htm " or “C:\WINDOWS\p1.htm” or “C:\WINDOWS\p2.htm” in the address bar . I have tried deleting those files from the c:/windows directory but they start again in a abt 30 secs time…

i have done the boot up scan with avast pro v4.8 and also checked for any spyware with spybot s&d …

please help me out with this issue

Welcome to the forum.
The only thing I’ve been able to find is the following:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/il.mafioso/Navifix/presentation_eng.htm

I however know nothing about the site or the fix they offer.

Maybe Polonus or one of the others can checkout both the site and program and advise you further.
