I don't know how, when, or why...but it has. I came home today and there were 53 IE windows up! I have no idea where it all came from suddenly, I've run SpyBot - Search and Destroy several times but it doesnt seem to get it all. It's not very thurough. Anyone know of any other programs or suggestions? Anything would be appreciated.

How the devil did you manage 53 windows? Did you leave the computer for a week or something? :)

Yes, you have been hit by teh Spyware hard!

53 Windows? Ugghh!

Sounds like you have a script installed..

Run Adware and your other programs and then do a Virus Scan.

Marcus is right. IE SUCKS. Quickly, as fast as you can, download Mozilla Firebird. You won't be disapointed.

I haven't been having problems with IE or the such. Seems just fine to me. :)

But yes, Adaware = great.
