2 major problems with IE

Hey,
Recently I've have been having some problems with Internet Explorer. Firstly, I would have trouble opening new windows - when I clicked a link to open a new window, IE would stop and I would have to click the task bar a few times to make it work. I learnt to live with this problem, but a new one has popped up. Just last night, IE started restarting itself when I opened a new window. This means that I cannot have any more than one IE window open at a time. Please try to help, thanks.

NB: I'm using the latest version of IE, on Windows XP Pro. Edition (Service Pack 1 included).

Re: 2 major problems with IE

No guarentees, as it could be a couple things, but please do these:

Download the latest version of Ad-Aware at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
After installing AAW, and before running the program, FIRST update the reference file following these instructions.
http://www.lavahelp.com/howto/updref/index.html
Now do the following:
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
check: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."
- Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
Check: "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Press "Scan Now"
- Check option "Use Custom scanning options"
- Check option "Activate In-Depth Scan"
- Press "Select drives\folders to scan"
- Select the active partition which is usually C:
Now press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys.
Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"
Now press "Next" again.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.

Then:
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-328.html
Unzip (extract) it to a folder of its own. Then Doubleclick HijackThis.exe (in the new folder), and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, then Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents here.for hijackthis ,most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
