Computer opened 155 processes in 1 second.?

I have a dell home computer with the basic Vista install, I clicked on the AT%26T internet application and abruptly the computer froze, it said that the internet had opened in 24 different windows. The screen went black and when I it came back on it said something about security and failed logins, then when I opened the task manager and under the processes tab it said there were 155 processes running, at least 110 of those were yahoo internet. I don't know how this could possibly happen seeing as how you can't open the same internet process more than once. What just happened, and why? Virus scans fail to show any problems.

You can't open the same internet process more than once?



You can open as many different internet processes as you system will allow. These processes can be identical, just opened separately.



Although your virus scan didn't find anything, it is a virus, try a different scanner, or update yours.

even though your computer said there was no viruses, i still have a feeling that it may have been a very simple form of one where it is just programmed to open a whole lot of a certain program really fast, causing your system to crash.
Did you by any chance have something hitting the enter key (such as a book). When you clicked on application it had the focus and maybe something was resting on your keyboard enter key, starting many processes.
