Every once in ahile this happens to me on sewforum. never any other site. About once or twice a month, I will click on something here, and it will start opening explorers all over the place. Seems like it will open 3 for every one I close. I finally have to pull up my task manager and close everything.
I (and my computer husband) think that it is a sewforum glitch, as it never happens on any other site.

everything is not alright with my computer. I have run 2 virus scan and nothing comes up. But it is doing all kinds of strange things. I am almost certain that I have a virus. I am on my sons computer this morning. I can not use mine. I was downloading items yesterday and had gone in to unzip some files that I got and it started acting all wonky. Opening up 50 or so browsers at a time, curser blinking and it finally locked up completely. I would appreciate it if you checked into this and let me know what you find. I will be having my computer worked on today.
THank you

We get this stuff on our computer sometimes. In fact had to save everything and reinstall all of the computer software to get rid of it. My son plays on a lot of gaming sites. Also when he was younger the cartoon sites seem to play a role. I think that SF has no viruses however members can send them to other members. That is one reason we delete all links to the multi ad sites. Unfortunately this can happen with anything we open on our emails on the internet. I just consulted with my husband the UCF IT engineer-he says it sounds like virus that you have somehow downloaded when you opened something be it a link here or in your own email.He also says if you visit a site it can have cookies that carry a Trojan horse and it is transferred to your computer. So the conclusion is it is not a glitch of this program.

Thanks Cajunquilter, I had my son come over last night and he got it running. Knda still sketchy but it is working. WE never found anything but a bunch of cookies. Three scans, two different ones, and two spybot. NO viruses at all. Still kinda nervous, I thought I had lost my amazing box alltogether, which is only 3 mnths old. But I am up and running, and that is what counts

Trying to find some information on this problem found this .....
Re Internet Explorer
If you click at the top of the page on Tools> Internet Options>Programs
At the bottom of the page see if you have the box ticked/checked next to
Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser.
On the microsoft page it mentions this problem ....
This issue ( multiple windows ) may occur after you install WeatherBug by AWS
I do not have nor know what this Weatherbug program is.
Another microsoft page maybe of interest if you are using IE7 and have upgraded to Vista.

Others have said they are having problems with IE7 - I am staying with IE6 myself
