Something odd with my internet browser

Ok, I use Firefox, and I still have IE installed. Sometimes when I click a link the window will open in an IE window. And sometimes clicking a link nothing will happen for a few seconds, then all of a sudden there'll be like 100 IE windows opening all at one time. Anyone ever heard of this problem?

    Massive infestation of malware?

    If you don't get any solutions that work, let one of the staff know and we'll move your thread over to the Spyware and Virus Removal area.

    Malware?

    Ugh, I run a full system scan with Norton and it always comes up clean except for 1 tracking cookie.

    Norton is awful. Try Adaware (www.lavasoft.com) and Avast! (www.avast.com) both free, and both arguably the best at what they do.

    I'd recommend the new Free version of AVG 8 it does anti-virus, as well as spyware and it seems to be very effective.
