I know I`ve spoke about this problem before, so here it is again. My
system is Windows XP/IE7/Dell Latitude D600Windows/Processor Speed
1.6GHz/Memory 1 GB/Hard Drive40 GB.
The problem is this, what would be wrong with the computer if (say)
you were on Yahoo and without touching a button, it switched to
Google, then maybe to another page. What would cause a computer to act
this way?

First thing that comes to mind is the mouse. Do you have a wireless mouse?
If so is it on a pad or shiny surface?
If shiny surface change to something else.

The mouse is built-in, I have a laptop. I should have stated that-
sorry.

Try experimenting with Tools, Manage Add-Ons, Enable or disable Add-ons
periodical disable one to see if that one is causing the problem,

bad mouse or drivers if it's consistant at other times.
Else,
virus
trojan
worm
spyware
malware
etc.
 
You did not specify whether the all the pages, such as the Google page, are
already open. If they were not open already, then it is extremely unlikely
the mouse could cause new windows such as that. So I will assume the browser
windows were already open.

I think the keyboard is more likely to cause that than than the mouse. If it
were the mouse, you should see the mouse pointer moving. I think it is quite
unlikely that a mouse click could happen if the mouse pointer was not at the
location. The keyboard could act up and leave no evidence.
