Problems with Internet Explorer and news articles, virus?

Every time I read a Yahoo news article or try to comment on them my computer start duplicating the pages non stop. I am reluctant to beleive there is a virus as AVG nor Malwarebytes is able to find anything. The more I try to close them the more they come back. This happens only with Yahoo news. Is there a way to get rid if Internet Explorer and reload it new without losing everything? Or is there something else I can do?

Update:

This really only happens on the news articles.

    I am reluctant to beleive there is a virus as AVG nor Malwarebytes is able to find anything - AVG is a poor antivirus program well know for missing viruses, malwarebytes removes malware not viruses.

    Is there a way to get rid if Internet Explorer - no, its part of the OS & required for windows updates.

    You can run more than one browser.

    do a free online scan to see what AVG is missing:

    i would then do a scan with free superantispyware.

    The only thing you could HAVE DONE, was NOT INSTALLING AVG.

    Sorry man, you have proved your having almost no brain by choosing AVG.

    Avast! is the only choice a wise man make to safeguard its system.
