Hello

When I look at certain emails even just with the partiel viewer and without
clikcking on anything else, IE 7 is sometimes launched and goes on line

Makes me really mad cos it is for me to decide whether to go on line or not.

How can I stop this please?

Thanks

Dave Neve

I'm experiencing this too.

When I view some e-mails which contain HTML content I notice that the
computer responds slowly. At some point when I do something (I'm not sure
exactly what, but once it happened when I scrolledl the click wheel) a
website pops up from one of the links in the e-mail.

Please note that apart from the first occurrance, which was from a spam
e-mail, the other two e-mails with this behaviour have come from a legitimate
mailing list from a group hosted by a well known web portal, and a website of
a credible company from which I receive a regular newsletter.

You should be reading your email in plain text. And if your mail client
has a preview pane, don't use it.

Some more info on the bug bsed on my experience:

When it happens for a particular message it only happens the first time the
message is viewed. Even if the message is later marked as unread it doesn't
happen again.

In response to the previous message, my preview pane is turned off.
However, only messages that go into the Junk folder are opened as plaintext.
Messages not opened in plaintext are opened without downloading images. But
I'm also getting this bug from non spam e-mails sent by a reputable website
and mailing list.

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

It just happened to me again with an e-mail notification about a reply in
this very newsgroup. I think I know what's happening.

If I triple click on a message in the main outlook window, either
deliberately, or accidentally (e.g. intending to make a double click but it
turns out a triple click) then the third click is applied to the message
window once it is displayed. It may be displayed by the time the third click
is made but this may not need to be the case, I'm not 100% sure. If the
message contains a URL that happens to be under the mouse pointer, then that
third click effectively opens Internet Explorer to display the web page
pointed to by the URL.

Well, yes, that's a distinct possibility.
