many browser windows opening automatically (must be virus?)
hey guys,
I am writing to please ask for help.
a couple nights ago, I was looking for lyrics to a song. I think I was at metrolyrics.com.
suddenly, browser windows started opening by themselves. many of them. I ended up shutting down IE. (I use IE8. my computer tech told me to use it a while back because he said IE9 has a lot of issues).
just now I had a bunch of tabs or windows open. (I often do. I like to do 6 things at once.)
the same problem happened. it is slightly unnerving. it is an aggressive attack. I try closing a window, and this thing is chugging along opening 7 more. I go to task manager and shut it down.
I tried scanning the computer both times for a virus (AVG free version). it found no viruses.
does anybody have any thoughts on what I should do?
I did try a search before posting this.
thank you for any help,
Charlie
