How to Fix a Virus on Internet Explorer in Windows


Computer viruses frequently infect computers through the Internet when the user visits a website contaminated with malicious programs. The website installs the virus to the computer without the user's knowledge. Many viruses negatively affect the user's Internet browser after that by causing multiple pop-up ads, slowed performance and irregular behavior. Internet Explorer is frequently exploited by viruses, and fixing a virus in Internet Explorer takes some time.
