Hi,1. Which browser do you use?2. Which email client is installed on the computer?3. Does this behavior occur even if the email program is closed?4. Since when are you facing this issue?5. Were there any changes made prior to this issue? Step 1:I would strongly recommend you to run the Virus Scan.a.
