     Lots of unwanted websites opens in Tab and in new windows
automatically even though pop up blocker is ON. Its became a huge problem for
me. I can not browse peacefully. I cleared cookies ad offline
files...everything. But still the pronlem persistes. I even ran spyware tools
and cleared all the spyware from my PC.
                               Please help me on how to get rid of this
problem.

Thanks,
Soumit.

Hi,
You still have malware (spyware, hijackers, trojans, etc) installed. Many
malware programs must be removed manually with the help of an expert.

See these sites for help, including the posting of a HijackThis log to one
of the forums where HJT logs are analyzed:
