Hi all. I've just started having trouble with my IE 7 on my Windows Vista Ultimate laptop. About an hour ago I installed Kaspersky 8.0 internet security and when I went to my internet to check my mail for the activation key, it's like IE spazzed & began opening a bunch of new tabs. For some reason, they all went to Skype Help I do have Skype on my laptop but it was not in use. The tabs opened so fast, I couldn't see what the windows actually said, but I do believe I saw a section that said something like "You chose to add this add-on" or similar. After about twenty-something new tabs, IE finally froze. I'm not sure if this is directly related to Kaspersky, or then perhaps the registry clean I did just prior to installing, however I'm leaning toward Kaspersky because all worked fine until I rebooted after the install.

All I can think of is to uninstall Skype & see if that fixes things? Firefox works fine, but I'm an IE fan :\ Firefox just is too much hassle blocking this, blocking that. If anyone can help me get my IE back, I'd appreciate it very much! Thank you!

Sounds good. Thank you. If it helps any, this is the site that pulls up in the new tabs: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/help/gu...addon/?lang-en

It is a legit add-on that I've had for a while, but this gazillion tabs thing is new to me. I also tried opening IE with no add ons and that works fine as well.

Hope you can find something out!

What happens if you reinstall Skype?
