Please don't write with large letters. That is generally a no no when you
are using newsgroups. Also try look a bit in the group, the question has
been asked a few times the past days...

I would download the free softpackage from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
called Ad Aware. It can look in your computer if you have installed that
irritating software that generates pop ups and strange toolbars on your
browser. If it finds anything bad you can delete it.

I would not advise to use Internet Explorer as your main browser. The
software is too vulnerable to adware and spyware. You could for example try
the Mozilla 1.6 browser. Get it here http://mozilla.org

I have this problem too, do your pop-ups say "AD AWARE"
at the top when they come up? If so, I used Alarm Zone
Pro or something (trial for me), and they stopped. Try
that out, see if it helps.

See my post, "IE Pop-Up Ads" on 1/31. I downloaded the free "SpyBot Search
& Destroy 1.2". It did the trick for me! Go to:

http://www.safer-networking.org/ Click on "Download" in the left column.
Good luck.
