Have I got a Virus?

Internet Explorer now opens itself (I never use it) and goes to a site named eToro which is trying to get me to join in the wonderful world of Foreign Exchange trading.

If it's of any relevance I'm in Australia and use Optus for my broadband.

Thanks

I'll vote a 'Yes' there! ETOROSETUP.EXE, Prevx will explain.

I'd sack your anti-virus program if I were you, it's been around for over 2 years so the protection should have picked it up.
