Auto opening of unselected URL

[Michael Savage]

Suddenly my IE6 (Ver 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_qfe) randomly opens a window for
new URLs that I didn't specify. Last one loaded was
http://frisco.go211.com/azactionsports
Tried restoring system to earlier restore point, but system would not do
it. Symantics full scan shows no problems.
HELP!
