QTP11 not correctly identifying the count of open IE8 browsers

[vaibhavonlearnqtp]

Facing issues while trying to record the total number of open browsers.

Code:

Set oBrow = Description.Create
oBrow("micclass").Value = "Browser"
Set oTemp = Desktop.ChildObjects(oBrow)
msgBox oTemp.count

This chunk returns the count as 2*(actual number of open browsers)

IE version: IE8


Workarounds tried
1. Disabling tabbed browsing
2. Re-registering BHOManager.dll

Any help is much appreciated......
