Hello,

I can only open one Internet Explorer Window at a time. If
I try to open a new Internet Explorer Window, the old
window disappears.

How to remedy this?

Thanks,

Rohan

Go to Tools | Internet Options | Advanced.
Uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts".

Thanks for the help Frank. I unchecked the box, but
unfortunately it did not fix the problem.

I am running Windows XP with 5 user accounts. This problem
is only with 2 of the 5 accounts.

A new window does open, but the old window disappears, (it
does not load the new window in the old window, rather it
opens a new window and simultaneouly closes the old window.

Also, Norton has detected a virus Downloader.MsCache in
the file gsqimkqo.dll. Could this also be contributing to
the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rohan

I'm not familiar with that virus.
Did Norton remove it?

Hi,
Interesting... See
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...r.mscache.html

It seems that this trojan can install a browser helper object (BHO.) A BHO
could definitely block new windows. Back to Frank's question, did NAV remove
the trojan?

Download and run BHODemon 1.0:
