Whenever I open a page on the web a second page opens which is blank
When I close the main page, the second blank page is still there and I have
to close this as well
I operate Vista
I have tried adjusting add ons but to no avail
Has anyone got any answers to this anoying problem?
 
You have most probably infected your PC with some malware. Get a good
anti-spyware program and perform a detailed scan of your PC

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
