It started acting up last week. Tabs open by themselves and now, they even close by themselves. Like just now when I was reading about the extenze side effects on a blog, the cursor starts to scroll up or down real fast. I cannot even do anything on the laptop now. I need HELP!!!! I have googled for help and was asked to install anti-spywares to detect any spywares or unwanted programmes in my laptop but it is still the same. I have even removed all the cookies and do a system restore but to no avail. Has anyone face this problem before? Any tips on how to get rid of this problem?
A warning window popped up to tell me that I am about to open 194 tabs! Can you believe this craziness?
can you see the white circle on the left side of this photo? that’s the cursor..waiting to wreck havoc
Hi Barb,
Not sure if this will do the trick or not, but check out the below link:

thanks Macy, will check it out 🙂
ooo…twilight. the witch. eyes everywhere..remote control..hehhehe. ok i dun want to scare you (read : I don’t want to scare myself ekkk).
LOL!! the witch is not this smart to do something like that 😉
Last time my PC in office also like use to automatically open a lot of tabs at a wrong click. I would normally ctrl-alt-del for Task Manager and click the END TASK immediately.
This happened to me before (I ctr-alt-del & ended task)… but not up to 194!!! *sweat* Good luck in fixing it!
I believe it could be virus =_=
Tabs opening by itself, I experienced that many times before.
Sorry could not advise much, perhaps bring your laptop to some IT guy to check!
Oh my, I’d experienced tabs opening by themselves by not scrolling up or down like you. Really sorry, I can’t offer any help because I’m terrible in this area.
I can’t help you on the 194 tabs. But that lil’ cursor on the 2nd picture…
Do u use a mouse with a roller in between left and right click button? If yes, then tat cursor icon appears if you click onto the roller. To undo that action, just click onto the roller and the screen will rolling.
yes my mouse has a roller but that thing has never been there until lately 🙁 been using the mouse for a year already 🙁
oh dear! hope you’d get it fixed fast 🙂
Have you run your antivirus?
Similar thing happened to me b4 for my office laptop. Couldn’t even “end task” so I did a hard stop using the off button.
Luckily it was ok when I restarted the machine.
Why the mouse pointer became like that eh..is it something wrong with your mouse? You sure there is no spyware or virus?
PB said in Firefox sometimes when you click on the roller – all your tabs open from your bookmark – so prolly that was what happened. monitor it and see what happens.
thanks for your suggestions everyone. hubs just upgraded the latest java and it seems ok now *keeping my fingers crossed* will monitor the situation 🙂
i do get this too when i blog hop at times.. and i wonder whether it is due to some virus blogs or what… the tabs kept on coming and it was continuous and i have to shut down my whole pc..
Scary! My old PC use to have some kind of problem similar to this. But once i switched to my new one with windows 7 so far touch wood nothing ghostly is happening.. crossing fingers n toes..
I guess that is infected by virus, better scan your pc with some antivirus programs.
maybe a virus????
