New window for every click

[Shawn]

All of the sudden every time I click on a post, web page, link, or what ever it pops up in a new window. Malware or spyware? Is there a box that has been cliked to pop up in new window if so where is it cant find it.

But the new window has the post in it?  There is a setting to tell it to open new windows, new tabs etc. in both IE and Firefox.

I use Firefox and a while back something similar happened to me....if I tried to open a tab it would open up a new Firefox window rather than a tab.  I shut down Firefox and restarted...did away with the problem and I haven't had it since.  Sorry I can't help more than share that experience.

Best wishes,
Ed

New window would have the post in it. Im going to run antispy and reboot. Hopefully it will work because its really annoying.

Sure enough I had 4 objects found in the registry. Not sure what they were but my program showed them as little green bugs. Deleted them and everything is back to normal, no pop ups and no new windows.

Good for you!  Those folks out there putting this cr@p out there to mess folks up makes you want to find them and let Shawee introduce them to some of them big lizards down in the bayous.
