Why do multiple sites on my computer open up when I exit them? - eesa - 01-16-2013 09:37 AM

Sometimes I'll exit something ( facebook, twitter, ect) and suddenly the page will open up over and over on my computer screen. Why does this happen?

That's called a virus. Boot into safe mode by pressing F8 when you start up your computer, before it boots into Windows. Download a program like Malwarebytes or Spybot Search and Destroy to remove the virus.
