Browser automatically changing page

Hi

I have a very weird problem, and I wonder if it is caused by malware.

When I am using a browser, every so often it switches back to a previous state. For example if I am on one page and then switch to another it will switch back to that first page. This is mildly annoying if I am just browsing, but can cause a loss of data and time when I am doing something specific on the page, such as ticking certain boxes, as when it switches away from the page I lose all the work I have done.

This is not browser specific. I mostly use Chrome, but I have tested Firefox and even IE and I get the same issue on all 3.

I am protected by AVG Free, with a regular weekly scan. I also, at the suggestion of David (your founder) did a scan with Malware Bytes. That picked up a Trojan (which is the type of malware I imagined might have caused my problem) but even though that has been quarantined I still have the same problem.

I am running Windows 7.

Does anyone here have any idea what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?
