I use the latest Internet Explorer.
And sometimes I get "TabAttacked", it creates lots of new tabs over and over again til I "kill" Internet Explorer.
Its really weird. Has this happened to anyone else or is it just me?

This happens to me too sometimes, but with new browser windows. This is in ie7 with vista. I haven't figured out what causes it, except I'm pretty confident it's not spyware. I've scanned for it a few times and never found any.

Why do you use IE anyway? Use Firefox or chrome

Indeed, You will find that Firefox and Chrome take less than half the resources that ie takes. Last time i checked, IE was taking up 51MB, Whereas firefox was taking up 20mb, and chrome 16MB (All with the same google page open, So it was a fair test).

If this is a problem then you probably need a new PC.
