Hi!

Hope someone knows what is causing my newly experienced problem. I believe it's only been the last few days (22-24th of June) where I noticed while on a couple of sites when having to click on a link for help, etc., as usual a tab opens. However on the last few clicked on links, it began constantly repeating opening tabs, within 2,3 seconds there were 48! It wouldn't respond to any keys so I had to shut it down. In order for me to avoid having to delete all these tabs, I went into options and changed saving last opened tabs (history) to NOT saving and turned off & restarted laptop.

I have an HP Slate Windows10 64, problem occurred in IE and Firefox while on sites that were supposedly extremely safe, i.e., Government Site, Microsoft, HP and seems as if it was when I clicked on a link for some type of help/assistance is when the tabs reproducing began.

I looked over the security programs installed, everything is up to date, no sign of threats.

Anybody else have something similar happen with their system recently? Viral or otherwise?

Thank you in advance.
