I have multiple PC's on a home network, one with XP and
one with WIN2K Pro. The XP machine is plagued with
internet ad popups ever 10 seconds, while the WIN2K
machine has zero popups

you will have around 159,000 hits so you should be able to find one thats works.

This problem may be caused by a program that is installed on your computer
when you download another program from the Web and install it on your
computer. These programs are typically referred to as <Adware> or

many of these programs can be difficult to remove. You can use a Spyware

manufacturer of your antivirus software for more information about removing
Spyware and Adware.
