Dave,

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.

Note: Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated very frequently as and when new malware is discovered. Therefore, update both of these tools before scanning, very important.

Dave,
Do you have *any* type of pop-up blocker running? MSN toolbar? Earthlink?
AOL? Google? Are you sure that Yahoo Companion isn't listed under IE> View>
Toolbars or IE> Tools?

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." If that allows additional windows to open, another
program is causing the problem.

Try Toolbar Cop from <irony> Ramesh S. See what Toolbar Cop finds.

You might try BHODemon from:
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/
or http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/
or http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3550.html
it might find a BHO that's causing this.

If you're *sure* that another program isn't causing this, these links may
help.

Let me know if any of this helps. I'm not getting feedback (good or bad) on
this advice.

This problem has been plaguing me for some time, everyone has been beeting
around the bush with it and I've had a hard time figuring why my browser IE
at least was closing on many web sites for me. Here is what was causing the
problem for me.

A few months ago in a rare impulsive moment decided to to try a program that
I heard was a good alternative to IE (never believe everything you hear on
TECHTV!) so I tried MYIE2. Well as it turns out after blaming Sun Java 2
runtime, and other plugins, I have found out it is the popup blockers in
MYIE2 that caused IE to close on me. While I found MYIE2 to be a nice
interface, no one bothered to mention that it is integrated with microsoft's
IE and changes all your settings in IE. Worse still if you install Mozilla
Firefox it too experiences the same problem when you import IE favorites and
settings.

The moral of this story is, don't do what I did. hahaha

Anyway, what Don said about turning off 3rd party plugins will pretty much
solve the problem in the short turn, getting rid of the other programs that
caused the problem is a different story.

Keep up the good work. Can't we all wait for XP service pack 2, to make our
lives interesting?
