update on this, need more help

Found incompatibility problems with Chrome, with some programs I use, so downloaded and installed internet explorer 11.

Things seemed ok at first, then started getting 'you have been infected.... ' messages. Ran scan - no problems detected.

Now, a lot of the sites I try to get into give a certificate error, (on a screen with a pink background), and no option to continue to website anyway. I know that these errors are mostly not justified, (doing it on internet banking, sites I've used for ages, etc). Looking at explorer help, you can apparently not turn off the certificates flag up. It just tells you to press 'continue' to get to the website, (which I cannot do, because as stated above, there is no continue option.....

Another thing happening is I am being diverted to advertising/gaming websites from a legitamate click or menu option on a known site.

I have tried system restore, but that just brings back the original problem.

All this has happened since the explorer upgrade, which was from the legitimate site.

I'm running Windows 7 with 64k, and am at a loss to know what to do
