    Lots of windows opening randomly (computer problem)

    Every once in a while when I 'x' out IE (has only happened with AO so far), massive amounts of IE windows open and keep going until about 50 windows, after that they all close. I brought a screenshot..

            Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

            Search for "google toolbar"
            Best popup blocker on the net.

            Then search google for a program called 'adaware,' to make sure you have no spyware.

                Mine does the samething. Except I don't know squat about computers. We've also got a blocker thru Earthlink but even then it still works. Any help for me?

                  http://doxdesk.com/parasite/ Their link is wrong.


                  Since it only happens in IE it's a browser parasite. Most virus scanners won't pick it up because it's launched when you start up IE.

                  I'd recommend installing and running several Spyware programs to cover everything.

                  I use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Remember to keep checking for updates before you scan.

                    I love my google toolbar. The google pop-up blocker works really well too.
