Annoying Popups

I used to be a long time IE fan until now. It seems
like I need to change my browser. For the last week,
everytime I start IE there is a pop up that shows a girl
want to chat with me. I already have all the updates,
firewall, zonealarm and all my security settings are at
medium or high. I use adware, spybot and ad blocking
programs to try to take it out, it doesn't work. Now I
am trying to reinstall IE6 and getting stuck in
downloading section (don't know what's going on with the
server).

This is getting annoying as times go on, anyone has
suggestions to fix this. I think it has something to do
with scripts already installed on my computer.
 
If you AdAware and Spybot definition tables are up to date then look for a
new variant.
This forum will help.
