Three times this week google just started opening over and over, the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer. Then it is fine for a day or so and thenit happens again. I have windows vista and use explorer

oxford, it's an infection. removing it can be a pain in the arse, trying spybot and hijackthis to begin with can be a good way to go if you must stick with internet explorer.
Or you could try sandboxie software, this will force IE to play nice in a "sandbox".
OR, you could just switch over to firefox...

Some how you allowed a really bad piece of software/spyware/virus to install. You could fuss around with more tools to try and remove it but I doubt they'd be successful. Check your startup of windows. Maybe something is loading the process for IE during startup. Or you can switch to Firefox as dlancelot says.
