Internet Browser Keeps opening on its own

Unread postby steveo09 » November 13th, 2010, 12:07 am

about a month ago my computer began to run very slowly, I tried various anti virus programs, reset my settings to basic and increased the speed so it can now run programs and games it used to. Then a week or two ago, the internet browser started opening on its own, at first it remained behind currently running programs now every time the internet browser is not the main window in use it opens a new one on top. When ever using the internet it constantly forwards my page to my home page.

I see from your HJT log that you're using a 64 bit operating system.

Unfortunately, the tools we use to analyze and remove infections do not work properly on a 64 bit operating system, and their results cannot be relied upon. Because of this, it is almost impossible for us to correctly diagnose problems, and the fixes we might offer could potentially do as much damage to your computer as any infection you might have.

Due to the above stated reasons, we do not at this time offer support for 64 bit operating systems. We are sorry that we are currently unable to assist you.
