When ever I use IE or AIM for example and I try to type, the Help page for the program just pops up. Is there any way to disable these windows from coming up?

I'm not sure about AIM, but in the case of IE you can't switch off the help system. Becareful when typing though, if you accidentally press the [ALT] key hotkeys are switched on. Hotkeys give users quick access to menu options using their keyboard instead of the mouse. For example, pressing [ALT] then [F] then [C] will close your IE Browser. Most programs have this function.

Try typing slowly, making sure not to press [ALT]. If the problem persists, try scanning spy/ad/mal-ware. Use Google and search for Anti-Spyware applications, AdAware is my personal preference.

If that fails, change the keyboard, and if that fails take your computer to a store that can have a direct look at the problem :)

Install a pop-up blocker, and see if that will help. If you are using ie7, click tools, pop-up blocker, then click "turn on pop-up blocker".. I hope this helps.. Good Luck..
