Hi,
Since this problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode, another program must be
causing it.
If running XP SP2, try IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable add-ons to see if
one of them is the culprit. If not using SP2, try one of these free
programs:
ToolbarCop:

BHODemon 2.0:

Another program, possibly malware, might be causing this. See these sites

Or...
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, toolbars,
security, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at any program that might be
interacting with IE. You may have to reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.
The "clean boot" troubleshooting method may help you find the program that's
causing this.
