    What do you mean "pop out a google window"? Do you mean when you click any link it goes to google.com, or a new window opens to google.com, or something else?

    Have you enabled Default search as Google and set the option to all?
    This causes to bring up Google search results of whatever you type in.

    You could also have some sort of virus. They tend to attack web browsers first. This could be a sign that you need to do a virus scan.

    no i don't think so.Im talking about a malware kind of thing.And i dont said it opens up when i enter something.the problem is whenever i click some links and buttons on webpages it opens up.
    Moreover are you talking about the search box in the top right corner next to the address bar default search options ?
    Edit:
    yeah i decided to do a malware scan first and then the virus scan.
