DELL PROBLEM?

I'm not sure if this is a Dell problem, an Explorer problem or a VISTA problem or if I'm even in the right forum but here goes.
 
I have a Dimension E520 running Windows Vista.  When I first set up the computer about 4 months ago I was having an issue when I was on the Internet using Explorer and all of a sudden about 25 windows of IE would open up one after another and nothing seemed to stop it until I was able to get Task Manager open and just start trying to close IE.  I thought it was a mouse problem at first so I switched from the Dell mouse to a Logitech mouse and everything was great up until about a week ago and I'm having the same problem again.
 
Anyone have any ideas about what is causing this?
 
Thanks

    This could be a virus or spyware problem.  You might want to post a HijackThis log in the Dell HijackThis forum.  Be sure you read and understand the instructions here on how to make and post your log before you make the post.

    I agree with Russel_314, it could be a virus or spyware. Run an anti-virus or anti-spyware plus submitting the HijackThis log as well.
