Weird thing when i click a link in an email message.... anybody got a solution? - GoFuckYourself.com

Every time i click a link in any email message the browser displays the port (:80) although it does not apear in the original link in my email.
For exmaple, http://www.gfy.com will apear in my browser as http://www.gfy.com:80 but only when i click it from an email.
Also, sometimes IE isn't able to connect for like 2 to 5 minutes to any sites, it keeps looking up the ip of the site although Firefox is perfectly able to connect at the same time.

Is this a known virus or spyware or something? I got a good anti-virus program, add blocker and anti malware running.

Not sure use some tools to see what ports are open on your comp!!!
You can try AntiPorts to scan!!!

1. Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, install
turn system restore off
go to safe mode and run a complete scan
turn system restore on

2. disable all IE add-ons and see if this still happens
