PROBLEM WITH "NEW WINDOW" NEED HELP

[Ben Wright]

There seem to be a lot of people on here with the same
problem. When we try to open a new window, IE simply
removes the original page and replaces it with the
content in the new window. This problem occured suddenly
and I havent made any recent updates. The suggestion made
by Frank Saunders about changing the advanced internet
options sadly has no effect on this porblem. Has anybody
else got any ideas, because this is becoming very
frustating, Im constantly losing pages as Im used to
having more than one open at a time. A

Any help greatly appreciated. Would be good if everybody
who has this problem could post on this thread to
highlight how big the problem seems to be getting.

I doubt if it's a virus. Try eliminating spyware. See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated 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:

**Post your HijackThis log to
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**
Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.
If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Do you have Yahoo Companion installed?
It could be the culprit.


Or some remnant of parasites.

From: "Maulik" submitted in a news group.
Subject: I have a very annoying problem. I'm not sure how to explain it.
Here's an example of the problem.
Say I'm reading some news article, I open up a new web page to go to a
different site, when the new page gets down loading it switches me from my
current page to the new page I opened.
So it is not going over the existing page, but switching to the newly opened
page. This is very annoying when I have multiple sites, or a site that
refresh every so often and I'm reading an article.

Solution: I had the same problem after installing iMesh. Even after the
removal of it, that irritating behavior was still persistent. Upon doing a
dump of all dlls in use, I found that there was a DLL called VX2.dll which
was like a defunct process, not being used at all, so all I did was:
regsvr32 /u VX2.dll
