Title: Problem with sites being visited but not.
Post by: Autums_Breeze on July 26, 2009, 02:31:40 PM

My computer is running slow and it seems that there are windows opening but not. I will look in my history and it shows all these sites I have visited and really I've only visited 1 or 2 and none of the sites that are listed. Once in awhile a screen will open up to a site and I close it but most of the time a screen doesn't even open. No it's not popups because I have my pop-up blocker on and they don't seem to be little pop up screens when they do open but a normal size screen like I requested to go to that site.

Definitely sounds like a virus. Or, have you installed any browser toolbars recently? Some of them are malicious and will display actions like you're seeing.
