Anti-virus programs don't require browser configurations.
Windows has some files which are corrupted or missing due to virus or other windows error. Important files need repair and other should clean up to make windows registry free from errors.
No. browser don't tend to give you a virus
Depends, what dose it say. Most likely you have a virus. Especially if it keeps redirecting you to an advertisement or survey. Dose your browser continue to have activity although it is supposed to be idle. When I had the virut virus, my computer was constantly opening browsers when i was away. If it is a virus try clean your PC with Avira, Avast, AVG, Mcfee, Malware ect. try Google some scanners.
You probably have a virus. This type of virus is known as a Browser Hijacker. Browser Hijackers can change your homepage, explode your browser with pop-ups, and redirect your Web Searches. Usually, a good antivirus scan would determine this problem.
A hacker a virus or you

One reason that your windows keep minimizing could be a virus on your computer. Run your virus scan to see if you have a virus.
What browser, what Operating System? It sounds like you've got a bug, or a virus. If your Virus protection software is up-to-date and switched on, try downoading the latest version of your browser.
NO. In the absence of anti-virus software that will remove a virus, upgrading will not do the job. Doing a clean install of the full Operating System (OS) after formatting your hard drive is the only solution. The key to a "clean install" is making sure that your method of formatting wiped the hard drive clean with zeros and ones. ----------- There are other solutions actually. I have not resorted to a format to eliminate a virus in a long time. Use any of a number of commercial anti-virus programs to eliminate the virus then run the SFC /scannow command to repair the system files. After everything is clean then you can uograde windows. To get to SFC /scannow you will need to go to start/ run - then type in SFC /scannow. Remember to put a space between SFC and the forward slash.
