    About once a day, as I am surfing the web, my computer will suddenly start 'piling' or loading the same web page over and over again..sometimes I will get up to 35-40 of the same page loaded, creating a big pile of the same page!! I have no idea what causes this or why it happens. Does anyone have any insight as to why this happens and what I can do to stop it from occuring?

    Hello awundrin,
    That's not normal behavior. You don't mention your browser version, but I would recommend using Firefox with the plugin called NoScript. It gives you more control over malicious behaviors and scripting errors. Also you might need to do a few free scans with Spybot Search & Destroy, and Ad-aware to clear up any strange programs or unwanted BHO (browser helper objects). If you get a clean report, do you still experience the same behavior? I hope this helps. Thank you.
