Stop Internet Explorer Or Any Browser From Opening Up By Itself?
Oct 25, 2012
Is there a way to stop internet explorer or any browser from opening up by itself...? New computer is launching internet explorer on its own and multiple windows of the MSN homepage when I do attempt to browse. Is this problem caused by a virus, or a defect in the operating system? I have not downloaded any programs other than the manufacturers Windows Office., and my setting are still the "defaults"
I Just bought a new computer, had windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed and some ususall programs, but I am getting bsod whenever I open any internet browser, such as internet explorer, chrome, or mozila. Then I tried to run it in safe mode with networking - still crashing, but in safe mode works perfectl. I'm thinking that the problem is some old wireless driver. This is the error msg I got:

Also, when I see the blue screen, I read that the driver "anodlwfx.sys" (System security filter, or something like that) is causing the problem for every bsod, I removed the file from windows folder, and computer worked perfectly, but I coudn't go to the internet, the used system restore, to restore that missing file.
This afternoon when I got online and opened Internet Explorer to my homepage the entire layout was changed, I do not know why since i have not upgraded or downloaded anything new, I have windows 7 Professional, and use Internet Explorer 8. Does anyone know how to change the looks of IE8, I have done system restore and all the other resets that I know. The page color changed, the layout has changed and it has all sorts of things I do not wish to have on the page, even the font size seems to have changed. I run Norton 360 2012 and have good protection.
why do I see internet explorer cache when I don't use it as a browser? I use firefox, but every time I do a c.c., a pretty big cache of temp internet files comes up for internet explorer. Is this the result of windows updates? or is something nefarious going on?
I cannot get rid of Firefox as my default browser - I've tried everything suggested,but each has a "roadblock". I will follow directions, then what I need is missing,almost as if Firefox has deleted things to self protect.There is no ADD DELETE PROGRAMS,the Folder Types section has no tab for what you ask, places where I should click the Internet Explorer name only contains Mozilla Firefox
My internet explorer browser (I believe I have 9 version installed) does not display some web pages properly in Windows 7. These same web pages have no problems when displayed through Google Chrome. I have tried to re-install the browser to no avail. Curiously, this happened after my wireless router had stopped connecting to the internet and I had to unplug the modem/router, restart the computer..I am sure I am overlooking something very simple to correct this.
I have a Windows 7 64bit home premium pc and a paid for lifetime subscription to roboforms 6. W7 has 2 versions of Internet Explorer 9 on it, the 32bit and the 64bit version. Roboforms works perfectly with IE9 32bit but does not work at all with the 64bit version. IE9 32bit will not open links that are in emails but the 64bit version does. way of making the 32bit version open links so that I can continue using roboforms? I have used Microsoft Fix it and set the program as my default but had no success.
All my programs on the start menu open in Internet Explorer (IE) including the desktop icons.I'm trying to avoid repairing my Windows 7 and System Restore isn't working. In need of everybody's assistance.
Anyway, for a while now I have had this problem of new tabs opening slowly. Whenever I click the new tab button, it will create the new tab, but it will not load for about 3 seconds. I have googled this issue, and have come up with things like disabling addons (I ran IE in the no-addon mode, and it still had the problem), and somebody suggested resetting IE (I did so, but to no avail).
Does anybody have some recommendations, other than switch to FF or Chrome?
My specs are as follows: Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit 8gb DDR3 ram i7 2630qm Not sure what other specs are needed.

How does one prevent internet explorer from automatically downloading and opening a PDF file?for example, I click on a link which I do NOT know is a PDF file. I am not given the option to SAVE the file. Instead, it is automatically downloaded and then Adobe PDF opens up in a seperate window. How do I disable this? I have disabled the plug in/add on in IE. With FireFox I was able to set the plug in so that it would always ASK me what to do if it detected I was going to look at a PDF. I could either open it or save it. IE does not give me that option.
My computer has been running slow for months, but it is now getting to the point where it is almost unbearable. For example, just clicking on a folder to open it can take up to 15 seconds to respond. It also lags a ton during internet browsing.
The definetion of an EXPERT was "anyone more than 25 miles from home" not sure about that.If memory serves me I used to be able to open more than one copy of the Microsoft IE Browser, however am unable to do that now. Am I imagining thing that I did that before or is there a problem with that?

I want to stop my browser from entering my user name - it is not entering my password. While rummaging around on the computer I came across the Credential Manager and removed all of the Generic Credentials (there was nothing in the first two vaults). I then went online to see if that would work - No. I went to my Live Mail and DID have to put in my password to have the Live Mail program open. I went to the Credential Manager to see what that password logon created. It created the email address user name and 13 Windows Livetoken):name=(my email address;ser... Then I can't read the rest. What are those 13 (token)s?
Upon opening the first browser window it opens to full-screen. Subsequent new browser windows open in the lower-right corner at 25% screen size.Q: is there a way to have every subsequent (i.e., after the first one) browser window open at full-screen size?
On startup, my browser has started automatically and attempted to open the page.[code]I have tried searching the internet to find out what this relates to but there seems to be nothing mentioned. The website itself doesn't seem to exist (I get the normal 'This webpage is not available' tab). I have checked all of my browser settings and cannot find anything that references it.I thought it may have been related to the Kana Reminder program that I have, but I have been using that for many months without this coming up before.Or somewhere else I can check? I'm thinking that maybe something is in my registry but I don't want to go fiddling around without knowing exactly what I'm doing.
I tried doing a google search to help fix this issue. Anytime I open iTunes to listen to music, or do anything with it, the program keeps opening itself up, re-maximizing itself, I exit it and then it reappears. I have no clue what is going on. This happens when I don't have anything going on with it. Its becoming rather annoying that less than 5 seconds after I minimize it, its pushing itself right in front again. I updated the iTunes Software a few days ago but that's about the only major change I've made to it. And it only started glitching the past day or two.

How can I stop WMP12 from opening the last file that was played when I load up a new instance of WMP12? Say I watch a video, close WMp, I click the WMP icon to load the player up, it wants to continue playing the video where I left off. I disabled it before a long time ago, but just reformatted and its doing it again and I cant remember how I did it!
The first time I start a browser after each reboot, I get a Windows Explorer crash, but it's not a full blown crash. It just says "Windows Explorer has stopped working", but it doesn't seem like it closes and restarts.
I first noticed it with Firefox, but then I switched back to Google Chrome. Same things. I haven't tried IE because, well, I don't use it. After that, I never see it again until a reboot.
I'm on Windows 7 x64.
Crash details below... Code: Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH
For the past 2 days, whenever I have used Mozilla firefox 12.0, after sometime, the browser hangs up and it tells that the browser has stopped responding. The same time, windows explorer also hangs and freezes soon. I will have to restart and then same thing happens again. I tried Chrome also, but the result was same. the browser freezes, and soon after explorer also freezes. I have also noticed that the disk space in the C drive is also getting reduced. In one day 5gb of space has been added up. I have installed and tested with windirstat. Now even the yahoo messenger freezes (not responding) every time and other applications too. I have scanned with MAlwarebytes and Security essential and could not find any infection. For the past 3 days, I can't watch flash videos in Mozilla. Today, several time the same thing happened to chrome also and it says the player crashed.
