I installed a fresh setup of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by erasing my full hard-disk. After installation when computer opens, file explorer is automatically opening its multiple windows. Because of that computer becomes slow.
After that I closed all its instances and opened firefox. After some time, again multiple windows of file explorer opened automatically. This can be seen here:
Is there any malware infection or any other software issue? Please help!

Does the same issue occur if you boot from your LiveUSB and use the "Try Ubuntu" environment?

In "Try Ubuntu" mode, I am not able to open file explorer. But a strange thing is happening: when I opened firefox browser, it is automatically keep opening 'home-page' which is start.ubuntu.com And I am not able to even type or try a URL, as it itself leading to start.ubuntu.com I can see on the left bottom of firefox: "waiting for start.ubuntu.com"

That is a very unusual series of problems. Are you sure your hardware and network are working properly?

Thanks. It was a keyboard issue. I disabled my built-in keyboard and used an external keyboard. It is not happening now.
