Internet Explorer opens automatically

• Autostart: If Internet Explorer opens when Windows starts, the browser has landed in Autostart. To do this, follow these instructions for switching off autostart programs.
• Malware: In many cases, Internet Explorer starts with malware that opens advertisements or redirects you to infected links. With the free tools AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, most malware can be removed from the system and browser.
• Recovery: If the problem cannot be solved, you can restore Windows. Choose as early as possible.
• Deactivation: As a final step, you can ignore the problem and deactivate Internet Explorer. This is then hidden and can no longer be started. You can switch to other browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
