Can anybody help me with this one.

On numerous occasions when I start my laptop countless browser windows open for no apparent reason. I'm talking in excess of fifty browser windows at a time. I close the windows as new ones open. Eventually it stops and I can use the computer as normal. It doesn't happen every time I use the computer. Sometimes it goes for weeks without doing it but then returns.

Is it a virus? If so why isn't McAfee picking it up?

Can anybody give me some advice?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

It sounds more like spyware than a virus. Download adaware se personel its free and download spybot too. They should help. Also get rid of mcafee its ****. Download avast its also free and ten times better. This should solve your problem:cool:
