Do you get it when you are on AB? it's a bit of a problem - and surely you use explorer every time you search, or open a new link?
Windows explorer is not the same thing as internet explorer boxtops.

You use Windows explorer whenever you open your documents/music/video/pictures/Control Panel etc, etc.
Sorry - misread the question.... :-(
What were you using Windows Explorer for, when it happened?

Windows Explorer is not a browser like Internet Explorer.
Malware is known to cause this problem. Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware:
