Today, my computer did something I have never seen before. It freaked out on me and started opening up new windows faster than I could close them. Is there a reasoning behind this? Should I be concerned?

If it was windows to new websites, you need a popup blocker.

I was on amazon and I opened up a new link to read a review and the page just opened up like ever quarter of a second and kept opening up. I had to shut the computer down to stop it. And I do have a pop up blocker.

Run your spyware and virus protection.
Same thing happened to my wifes business computer and they had a virus that had been passed around on an email.
It opened a 1000 pages in about a minute and then went unresponsive and had to be shut off using the button.

I did run my spyware and virus protection. Maybe it was just a fluke thing.
