multiple windows opening

Vista
IE7
win live one care - up to date
installed malwarebytes last night for very slow running new computer
HP Pavilion

I have new HP from Aug 08. All software above came w/laptop except the
malwarebytes.

Computer has been annoyingly slow for last few weeks. A couple of months
ago I had an incident of multiple windows opening w/o prompting. Had to shut
down computer to stop this. It happened again just a few ago.

What causes this???? I have run winloc and malwarebytes. Nothing shows up.
Please help. At the time of cascading windows, Event log shows............
