Guys,
i have been having this problem since yesterday, my firefox(3.0.3) opens a new browser window automatically very now and then. Frequency is from 10 - 15 mions to 30 mins. The new window shows www.google.co.in as the web page.. which is not my actual home page. i am worried big time...did a sweep with webroot spy sweeper. it is still happening.
HELP...new browser window opens automatically
