Is it a Worm? A virus? Or does my iexplore just have a glitch?

Question

My internet explorer has been acting strangely. Every so often when i close a page my internet explorer re-loads that page over and over and over until I have like a billion copies of that page and it crowds my task bar. The only way i have found to stop it is to go to my task manager and end the iexplore.exe prog. and it quits. What kind of problem is this? How do I solve it? Has anyone messed with my compy? HELP!

Answer 3

suggest you go to www.download.com There is a search bar at the top. Type in :

AVG FREE anti-virus download it then update it.. Then look for SPY BOT Search and Destroy..download it and update it.. After you update Spy Bot , click on "Immunize" on the main Spy Bot page.. let it run. This loads the definitions. Click block pages silently also.. Look for and download , Zone Alarm free fire wall also..You need one of these too. Then go to www. lavasoft.com and look for AD-Aware SE personal edition..Download it and then update it... These programs are all free..Then run all three programs. The Firewall runs itself.. You will need to run all three programs at least once a week..The AVG protects constantly. And can be set up to automatically update, and scan for problems. But you will have to open and check for updates and run the programs manually for the other 2.. I also recommend Abexo registry cleaner ( also available at download.com) but be careful when you delete registry files it may be something you want to keep look at each one before you delete them.
