Microsoft Explorer keeps opening up

[Vibe82]

HI,

When I click on the Microsoft explorer icon on my
desktop. The Microsoft Explorer window keeps opening one
at a time continuously one after the other without
stopping. I then have to manually use the window task
manager to end all of them. I think it's some kind of
Virus but I keep scanning my computer and it come up
clean. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

Thanks

Hi there I keep having the same problem. When I try to
close one of the subsequent windows manually I get another
window that pops up saying:

This window is busy. Closing it may cause problems." and
then of course it gives you the "oK" or "cancel" choice.
Neither of those work however and I have to use task
manager. I've tried utilizing a pop-up blocker and it
doesn't work. My virus scan didn't detect anything last
night. So now I have no clue what the problem can be.

please e-mail me if there are any solutions to this:

First eliminate any scumware.
See

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Hey frank,

I installed spybot 1.3 and did the updated it like you
said. It eliminated all of my spy ware but I still get
the same problem. Can you think of anything else?

Did you run Ad-Aware, CWShredder and HijackThis?
