Sites Replicating Themselves on my Computer!

I`m posting this in here because I suspect that I may have a problem with my computer.

Here`s what happens: On occasions when I`m in IE I find I can`t close a web page. It can be any page, not just one specific site.

Not only can`t I close the window, the site starts to replicate itself, and within 30 seconds I might have 20 of the same page, in minimized size, all reproducing.

I can`t close the windows fast enough to keep up, and eventually the only solution is for me to turn the computer off, then back on. That clears the problem up until the next time, which could be several weeks later.

When I use Firefox, which is the vast majority of the time, this never happens Just on occasions I get a message it`s stopped responding and needs to close down.

The IE problem actually happened yesterday, and while it`s fresh in my mind I thought I`d post to see if anyone has any idea of what the problem might be. Could it be a virus?

 

That sounds like old school virus behavior to me.

 

there is definitely an issue with a virus of some kind. There is a firefox extension called noscript which is quite good at preventing this happening

 

IE specially IE6 is easily infected with virus. Yes this sounds like a virus. Please update the virus guard and scan the system additionally you can check the registry entries.

 

It's definatly a virus. Just keep using Firefox till you find a fix for it.

 

Yea thats a big ol virus you have going. You know, I think I had a similar virus a while back (before my permenant change to firefox) It was not found using symantec but was found using PC tools doctor. I dont have the link but you can google it.

I would give it a run

Good luck

 

This is a virus or spyware issue. Get a good antivirus and scan your pc

 

Had this problem numerous times and it was always a spyware which was responsible for the issue.
