If you are still using Microsoft Internet Explorer and want tabbed browsing, download http://avant.it-mate.co.uk/dl/absetup9_02_032.exe
Later versions of Avant Browser are worse, I deleted the more recent versions and have settled on this release. It's quite good, it's essentially an add-on to Internet Explorer.
You probably should have the latest patches from Microsoft installed and run ad-aware, spybot and AVG regularly if you are seeing odd behaviour. I'm not going to go into explain mode, but the links below are safe downloads as far as I can tell (I use these free programs):
