I usually use IE7 and just got my computer fixed. Supposedly I had a worn-out hard drive. My files were all saved but I have a new drive now.


Today I opened IE7 and tabs would NOT stop opening. (it was my homepage, google) I must have had 200 at least. It froze my computer. I rebooted and everything was normal again.


Was this just a program glitch, or something I should worry about?

It was probably just a glitch. If it happens again, run a few malware scans just to be sure. See if IE's history shows what page it kept opening; maybe that will explain it.

Tech support companies usually do backup/restores wrong, and it leads to weird bugs like that.

And actually we didn't have a company do it, just a guy who likes computers =P
