My Internet Explorer keeps opening new windows on its own
until there are too many open and my pc crashes. Pop-up
stopper doesn't help, it can't handle all the additional
windows. Seems like a virus, can anyone help with this?
 
This is probably 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 from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
