ad problems in browsers [Solved]

I have no idea where this comes from so we´ll look after it:

System File Check

For Windows XP:

• Press the Windows- and the R-key simultanously.
• Within the text box that jus opened, write cmd and hit Enter.

For Windows Vista/7/8:

• Press the Windows key to open the start menu.
• Don´t highlight anything, just write cmd.
• The start menu will offer you an entry named cmd.
• Right click it and select "run as administrator"

Within the opening window, write the following:

sfc /scannow

(See the blank within).

• Hit enter. Your system will be checked for damaged system files.
• Tell me the result of that scan in here (as the tool produces no log).

It said: "Windows Resource Protection found some corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.:Log windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not suppoted in offline servicing scenarios. The system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot."

By the way, I rebooted and am still having the same issues with internet explorer. I don't know how to get to the log file it talks about because I honestly don't know my way around windows 8. I don't know how to access the normal computer file structure.

Try to remove IE 10 from the control panel and reinstall it.

When I go to add/remove programs, it is not in the list of programs. When I right click it on the windows tile screen, and click uninstall, it takes me to the same add/remove programs window. I swear it's not listed though - I've looked through it five times, and done searches of the programs for "internet" and "ie" and nothing has come up.

Have a look at this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/foru…7f-1d402a05a67e

Tell me if these instructions worked for you.

Still not working, but I *really* don't care as long as it's not a virus. Hate Microsoft. We have two browsers - firefox and chrome, so already have a backup in case one is down.

Then your system is clean!

  • delfix will now delete all found traces of our removal process

How to protect yourself

• System Updates
  Beeing up to date is very important. Please be sure to activate automatic updates in your control panel.
  Windows XP | Windows Vista |
  Windows 7 | windows 8
• Protection
  What you need is one (not more) good virus scanner with backgroud protection. Additionally I recommend a special malwarescanner that you run from time to time.
  Personally I am using the avast! Antivirus Free Edition and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. They offer you good protection for free use. But please remember: You get only the full protection if you use the payed versions of your security software.
• Up to date Software
  Stay up to date with all the programs you use. Some of those really have to have an eye on are: your browser(s) including add-ons and plug-ins, Java, Flash Player, your virus scanner, and basically every software you use often. These link may help you to check:
  
  • Secunia Online Software Inspector - Checks if your software has updates available.
  • Filehippo Update Checkere - This tool also scans your computer for outdated software.
  • Mozilla: Check your plugins - The webpage will tell you if you have outdated plugins in your Firefox browser.
• Backups
  There are chances for an emergency every day. So be prepared. Back up your data on a regular basis. If you burn it to DVDs from time to time, use a cloud-drive or a professional network backup system is your choice.
• Brains
  It's no joke! You really need one of those things. It is very important not just to click anywhere it is colored or flashing while you surfing on the web. Do not click an OK button on any popping window without reading what it says. While installing software always choose the custom mode, read what those windows says and uncheck adware that will be installed along the software you want.
