IE8 problem

WordMaker · 07-19-2009, 12:03 PM

hello everyone,

I'm having a problem with my internet explorer 8 that started like 2 days ago.
When I open it there a window that automaticly says that internet explorer has malfuctionned and it trying to restart.Then multiple windows open up and it says the same thing with all of the and it never stops.Even if i go in the task manager and I try to close it down manually it won't let me close it, there are only more windows that pop up. then i switched to google chrome and it stopped.

I have windows vista sp2 and i just wanted to know if its a virus or a spyware or something like that and if it is, can i do something???
