HELP!? IE7 in uncontrollable continous loop

[Guest LVLITIG8R]

I have XP sp 3, IE 7, Nortan AntiVirus 2006 v. 12.8.0.4 and use AOL 9.0 SE.

When I am on AOL, IE7 will frequently open on its own and open new blank

pages continuously, in rapid succession, display "ads.web.aol.com" and lock

the keyboard. The only thing that works is: ctrl-alt-del, end the AOL and

IE7 tasks, then reboot. However, it then routinely starts all over again.

Any suggestions of what I can do to stop this ???

Avoiding AOL works for me. Perhaps ask their tech support what the issue

is?

Sounds like a case of browser hijacking... Use CCleaner to delete cookies

and Temporary Internet Files, and run either A-Squared Free or Malwarebytes

anti-Malware to delete the malware.
