Multiple windows opening on my computer?

Question

Sometimes when I leave my computer alone for about half an hour random Firefox windows will open, sometimes they're blank and sometimes they say "DOM source code" The date and time on my computer will be changed to 1980. The start bar will be unlocked and the task manager will be open, like someone pressed ctrl + alt + del. I have run all sorts of anti-virus and anti-spyware tests and even restored the computer to factory defaults and nothing helps. How do I stop this from happening?

Answer 1

It is probably a virus. Norton antivirus is good, but you have to buy that. But AVG antivirus is the best free one. You can download that online. Know that antivirus programs make your computer slower. But I think you need it.

Answer 2

Sounds like you have a virus!  Download avast free virus scanner asap and run a scan.

You may also have some sort of adware that the virus scanner is not picking up on.  If your computer is newer, than you should probably just look at reformatting if you can't get the problem figured out.

Maybe you have a cat and they are typing?  My cat does that. :)
