Strange browser issue

The last couple of days I have had a strange problem only with this forum.

After I have posted a message, as soon as I close the browser window another one opens up immediately, then more and more browser windows keep opening.

The only way I have found to stop them opening is to open Task Mgr and close the primary Internet Explorer App, or alternatively 'shut down' the PC.

Sounds like a virus type behaviour, however it only happens with fto-ireland. I also have an popup-blocker, but this has no effect on this.

Anyone had this also ?

Deffo not forum related, sounds like adware on your PC. Suggest you get a copy of Spybot SD or similar and run a scan.

Try installing Firefox. Way nicer than IE.
