Hi,
There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Download, install, *UPDATE* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de/

Check the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
look for dword value "NoBrowserClose". If found change its value to 0.
