Internet Explorer opens too many windows?

Has anyone ever experienced something like that before? All of a sudden when I close any of my opened IE windows I would get a continious large amount of windows that would open on my screen in a blast.



What would you suggest here? I use AVAST Antivirus and AVG Anti-Spyware (use both often).



Thank you for any help!

This is why I don't like AVAST or AVG. They don't work all that well, unless you pay to subscribe to the latest updates.



Keep in mind that everyone of these things is either free of charge or open source. That also means that the updates are free. Running the software with out the updates is the same as not running it at all. In addition to anti-virus software, you should also have anti-spyware software.



You should use more than one anti-spyware package because there is no one spyware package that will detect everything. Each one will pick up things that the others miss. Part of this is based on what gets submitted to the people who make the software which in turn is based on what the users encounter. There are so many that its hard to create a comprehensive list of everything out there that spies on you.



When you're done, be sure to go to Windows Update and apply ALL of the patches. Don't just run the "Express" updates. Run "Custom" and pick all of the software that's available to you. It make take several times before you no longer have patches. Once that's done, be sure to turn on your automatic updates. For Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525.
