Any Ideas ?!?

i had this problem when using multiple desktops, if MSN Messenger was open on one desktop and then you tried to open hotmail on another it would do exactly as you say.

It's not that, Win XP proffesional, only one login :(

Are you running the lastest version of I.E?
Is your system up to date with relevant service packs/patches etc, & also free of spyware?

Re: Hotmail Question
 

Does this only happen when viewing hotmail?

As neil says, run adaware or something to be sure your system is free of spyware as I'd hazard a guess that thats whats causing the problem.

This sounds like you may have a "zombie" virus on your system and it's using your connection to forward spam!

I'd suggest a good virus checking and having a careful look at what processes are running when you have IE open.

This only happend when viewing my Hotmail Inbox, every other IE window is fine, I have run a full systems scan with the latest Norton and no viruses found.......

Viruses and spyware are different. Use the software suggested by Steve H to scan for spyware.
