Cannot stop an unwanted randon popup banner ad

J

Jeffo

Each time I open IE 6 I am being attacked by a popup
banner that is generated at random frequency. In a 15 min
session I get 6 or more IE windows open each with the same
banner message. I don't want to disable popups, but can I
stop / remove this?

The source for the banner is:

</html>
<head>
<!-- ----------Advertising.com Banner Code---------- -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var bnum=new Number(Math.floor(99999999 * Math.random())
+1);
document.write('<SCR'+'IPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" ');
document.write
('SRC="http://servedby.advertising.com/site=690790/bnum='+b
num+'/pops=1"></SCR'+'IPT>');
</head>
</html>


It does not matter which site or page I have open. I
presume that I have some adware doing this? I have tried
running various adware detection and removal programs but
cannot find this irritant!

I would certainly appreciate advice on some I can stop this
from happening.

Many Thanks in advance

If you do not have these tools get them now. You never know when they will
become handy.
This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
