Sometimes when I'm on the internet, a bunch of new windows will open with the same website that I was on. It just goes on and opens 20+ windows of the same thing and the original window eventually freezes up completely. Once it stops, I have to close all of the windows and bring the internet back up.

I just want to know if it happens to anyone else, and if there's a way to make it stop...

Those are pop-up windows (I guess).

What browser do you use?

I hate to sound like everyone else :P , but switch to some other browser such as Firefox. It has almost always blocked pop-up windows for me.

Ah, well I guess I'll do that. But aren't most pop-ups ads?

Eh, either way, I should get a different browser. Thanks for the help. :)

I use ad block plus but even better still is no script, nothing can be opened or installed with out your say so that way.

Adblock, huh? I'll look into that, too. I'll have to run some scans to make sure I don't have any viruses, though.
