Strange problem whit Internet Explorer

blnmihai · 12-12-2008, 06:35 PM

Hi,
I'm having this problem for a long time and I don't know what it is and whats causing it and it's not just Internet Explorer, but Firefox as well and any other browser that I can think of.

If I open IE and close it and open Task Manager it shows me that I have IE opened, even if I closed it; I open IE again and after that close it, and shows me in TM that a new IE task appeared, and goes on and on and on. Every time I open an internet browser it show that I opened it twice but when closing it, remains on

Nothing on my taskbar but in TM it shows that I have IE opened 5 times

Can someone help me please, I hate closing each one all the time but I have to, PC slows down

Click Here to download ToolbarCop. Save it to your desktop.
Go to your desktop and extract toolbarcop.zip.
Go to the extracted files
Double click on Toolbarcop.exe
Click on the notepad symbol:
A notepad file should pop up, please copy and paste Everything from the notepad file and paste it back into this thread.
