I have a strange problem on my laptop. I have two computers, a desktop with Windows Vista which works fine. And a old laptop with WinXP on it.

Not long ago I have had a problem of a fake virus in it. It was trying to get me to install and buy an Antivirus System. Finally I was able to find a solution to get rid of it by installin' two programs (one of them being malwarebytes)

My laptop was okay after but for the last two weeks now (not all the time) when I use Firefox, I have another (or several others) Firefox opening with 4 tabs in it. Those are the 4 links in each tab

file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/

Wherever I go on Firefox, another Firefox open with those 4 tabs. Furthermore when I open IE to go in hotmail, another (or several others) IE browser opens to autosearch.msn.com

I have looked on the web but I have not found any solution. I hope someone can help me with my problem. Thank you for the help
