MessageBroadcaster.net always opens a new window! Please help!

Hi all!

I have a major headache - everytime I connect and surf,
this MessageBroadcaster.net opens a new window(s) ... and
does so during intervals while I surf!

I've checked the website - it says "Under
Construction" ... can you believe that!

I've tried to uninstall it ... but can't find it!

I've cleared IE cache, cookies, etc ... with no luck!

Other than disabling/prompting active scripting (which is
a real problem with today's websites, and I've yet to
receive a new window since selecting those options), what
else can I do?
