why do my internet explorer keep on opening sites that i do not open??

Answer 1

You have spyware installed onto your computer. Some sites do this without your permission.

You will have to install some Spyware software. I recommend Spybot 1.4, this is free and gets rid of them for you.

Once you have installed this run it, it wont take long to get rid of them. You can download this from www.download.com

It should be into two parts, the exe and an update patch. You dont really need the update patch its just more secure.

You may have to reset you homepage after, you do this by opening Windows Explorer > goto Tools > and then enter a new homepage.

Then click 'Apply' and 'OK'. Close the web browser and then reopen it.

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

If you mean that you click on a link for one site, and a different site opens, then you have a type of spyware called a browser hijacker infecting your PC. If it started within the last couple days, you may try using a restore point from before the time that problem started to remove the hijacker.

You can also run a couple of anti-spyware programs and see if they will detect and remove the browser. Recommend both Ad-aware and Skybot Seek and Destroy. Both are available free at http://download.com

Answer 3

Try installing anti-spyware program in your PC. I personally recommend Spybot Search and Destroy.
