What is the web page's URL in which you click a link (which opens
another browser instance but which closes after 60 seconds)?

Have you checked the Processes tab in Task Manager to ensure you
recognize each process that is running?

When was the last time you ran a FULL virus scan using a recently
updated anti-virus product?

Did you check for spyware using Ad-Aware, SpyBot, CWShredder, and
HijackThis?

Do you have a popup blocker?

Same problem occur if you have scripts disabled in the Internet security
zone? Could be the sites you are visiting link to pages that use a
script timer that will close the child windows for the browser. You
could also try disabling the meta refresh option in the security
settings since that it also a timer to display another page (which might
use a script to close that window).
