Hello, I think I may have contracted a nasty virus sometime in the last two days! I have never had this occur before...But, when I select a website to advance a new tab to, something elects to open my new tab to a totally irrelivent and unwanted website...and all on its own! How is this being done to my browsing of IE? What is it called? What do I need to do to overcome this god awful thing? is it a virus? can I remove it? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop with xp 32 bit 26oo build, ms windows with sp3, and IE 8 for my web browser.
Thanks,
