Given that, from the above, it appears that your browser is MSIE, the answer
is: "acting normally" (not to be confused with "acting correctly").

You are near-certainly running with such things as JavaScript and ActiveX
enabled. That's a Really Bad Idea -- nearly as bad as running MSIE in the
first place.
I suggest you kill multiple problems in one fell swoop:

Or better yet, get the full "98lite" or "XPlite/2000lite" (depending on
which flavor of Windows you're using) from:
<http://www.litepc.com/>
And start over on your system setup.
