It could be caused by malware or possibly a mis-behaving add-on. Run any malware scans you fancy - AdAware & SpyBot if you haven't already got a security suite. If it's still misbehaving then start by uninstalling any toolbars, such as Yahoo, Google etc from Add/remove programs. If still no good then go to Control Panel, Internet Options, on the 'Advanced' tab click the 'reset' buttons - it restores IE to its original state, without any add-ons. One of the above should fix it.. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."
