Typical of windows ??
 

Is this normal for windows?
Every window computer I have owned develops this deal once in awhile.
All of a sudden it will start opening window after window for no reason..you can not close them fast enough!
Finally I just have to pull the plug or rudely shut it DWN.
This happen to anyone else?

You've been looking at porn, haven't you?:p

No it is not opening to porn sites. Just new window after new window..Never looked at a P.site in my life ....right

news to me. fair warninghttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...eys/yltype.gif

You have some kind of adware/spyware infection. Do the windows say anything? Can you open up taskmanger and see the name of the .exe its trying to kick off?

Typical of adware and spyware infestation - maybe a little viri thrown in for good measure.

This happend to my computer once - it was due to a virus which cleared up after a virut/spyware scan and deletion of files.

Speaking of adware, is Ad-Aware impossible to update now or is their site broken? I admit to always using the free version. They seem to have issues and all the FAQ's pertain to them, but even those don't work for me to get the updates.

Think they just want cash to make it all better?

No, just a blank window

time to clean.
Anti-virus and spy

wouldn't hurt to take it to a PC shop and have it cleaned.

Definitely not normal behavior. Do as HardDrive says and/or download and use HijackThis - you can get it (and help) here:

Terry- AdAware SE is technically no longer supported. You can get the current defs here:

but you have to install them yourself. Another useful link:

Is it possible you have a sticky keyboard holding a keystroke or something like that?

Lets see.. will try all the above , and also
I just ran windows Defender - says no problem
I also have stopzilla they allways find some thing but not what ever is bugging me.
I will try- "Hijack this."

I would look to see if you have a sticky keyboard first. But, since you don't go to porn sites, we can rule that out.

Then, download, install and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. If you have anything on your PC, this should identify it and, in most cases, clean it up.

I like the one that pops up and says you have a virus, to fix it buy our program!

I like Spybot Search & Destroy. Between that and AdAware, it seems to clean up pretty well.

This doesn't happen with Linux. Or Mac, for that matter.

My next puter will be a apple of some sort....this HP Vista creates a huge vacuum with its nonsense.
Are yo sure that you are ..sure ?
do you want to ...
you are about to.....
GRRRRR

I've had that happen with a keyboard that was shorting out. Replaced it and no more problems.

That's Windows, man; an exercise in an OS covering its own corporate ass. SmileWavy
