Why does my internet explorer keep opening tabs everytime i click on a link? - Chris - 05-06-2013 03:48 AM
everytime i open 'Facebook' 'Yahoo' 'Eubbo' It opens another tab and its really anoying.
My laptop is also slow it takes about 5 mins to open something.
Plus, when i go on eubbo it comes up with 505 Bad Gateway? What does that mean?
i will download something as long as it dont slow down my laptop or it isnt a virus thank you.

Having your browser open a different site other than what you click is an almost certain symptom of a malware infection, as is the very slow downloading time ...
Just to be very sure your computer is not infected, run both an anti-virus and spyware/malware scans, updated and separately - even more than one malware scan, or Trend Micro's Housecall for an online a-v scan.

*** in 'Safe Mode with Networking' is the only truly effective method - click F8 repeatedly when the screen first lights on boot-up, then arrow keys and Enter to navigate. Re-boot into Safe Mode for each separate scan ...
These are the best free anti-malware programs for cleaning infections, and can be installed without conflict with other security programs ...
