Hi and thanks that quite a few pup's you have there is that the adwcleaner report ?
Please clean all

Usually I clean my computer once or twice a month as I test out a lot of programs to see if their useful. Was busy with work and didn't have time to clean since Mbam changed their program and it's not as fast as it used to be. But not that many for 3 months time. Most of the PUPs were generated by a few programs is what I meant. I've cleaned many friends computers with hundereds of PUPs so that's why it's minor to me. NWiz is a Nvidia program and tightVNC is like Team Viewer.

And yes that is the adwcleaner report and I have cleaned all.

Okay thanks I would now full reset all of your browser then review all of the third party extensions in all of them to see if anything is lurking behind,
See how that works out,
Cheers.

Dear Thrashzone

Did all that before and still the same result. I really don't think this is a virus/malware issue, it has to be a software glitch.

Thanks

If you set IE 11 to save a web page as a file ..... look at this and see if you can reverse the process:
Save a webpage as a file

Dear Jacee

That won't work.

Thanks

Anybody else have any ideas as to what could be doing this?

Salt, take a look at your mouse settings. Something as easy as switching the buttons for left-hand might do something like this.

Sometimes it's the easiest stuff.

Download Security Check by screen317 from
http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.
