To clarify, if you log into your iGoogle on her machine, this behavior does not occur. If she logs into her iGoogle on your machine, it does.

If that's the case it sounds like she's got some nasty little widget added to her homepage.

I have a feeling there is a simpler explanation than some uber-virus infecting this guy, but theoretically government intelligence agencies would be very interested in getting zero day vulnerabilities before security researchers made them public.

Perhaps because it's Halloween and it's a themed joke article?

If she really wants to stick with 8, I'll use that if it comes up. I just hate how she'll ask me how to do something and I have no idea because I never used 8 and it's completely different from anything that came before or after.

Classic Shell replaces the Metro interface with a proper start menu, and you can turn it off after you're done working on it if she likes the tiles. I've got it on my 8.1 laptop and it's nearly indistinguishable from 7.
