I usually have 2-3 windows open on my laptop at any one time but tonight if I have more than one the 2nd window closes automatically after a few seconds...can anyone help me with this? is it a setting?

I did download Limewire tonight but wouldnt think that would be responsible?

If you have a Yahoo toolbar get rid of that too. It causes heaps of problems like this and is often downloaded without you even knowing.

Also don't use Internet Explorer, which is an open gate for these things!

I lock IE down with ZoneAlarm which then warns we if something tries to use IE to access the web in background.
