Suddenly, when clicking on a link to an email address or another site, it
doesn't work but after approx on minute, a box appears in my lower tray
saying that I have 59 Internet Explorer windows open - and I do! Then I have
to manually close them since right clicking on "Close Group" does not work.
Any advice on how to fix this? Tkx!
 
Hi,
For mailto links, this may be the answer:

If it happens with other hyperlinks, it sounds like a malware problem.
