Advice on WLAN security...?

I recently purchased a Belkin G Wireless Router. The Notebook I am using the WLAN with has clearly contracted a virus because internet explorer keeps opening and will not stop. I wonder whether it has something to do with the wireless security or I have accidently downloaded a virus.

SYPTOMS: internet explorer is continualy opening

mouse is freezing

computer is freezing

Deos anyone know what this virus may be?

Moreover what security software do I need to combat wireless communication invasion?

To get yourself clean:

Download Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, HiJackThis, and Avira Antivir.

Restart the computer in Safe Mode (start tapping F8 as soon as the computer starts to boot up, then choose Safe Mode with Networking).

Install the software. I'm assuming you don't have other AV software, but if you do, it's probably a good idea to uninstall that and install Avira Antivir, because obviously the last one wasn't up to the task of keeping you clean.

After installing, make sure to update the software to get the latest definitions (this is why we chose Safe Mode with Networking).

Attempt to run the software from Safe Mode. You may have to restart the computer to complete installations. If you do, just go back into Safe Mode. Run what software you can (not all software can be run in Safe Mode; I'm not sure if Ad-Aware can), then restart into normal mode and run the software again.
