Hi all. Lately I've been getting a ton of pop-up windows even if I don't have any IE windows open. I'll come back from being idle to see 10 new windows... I'll ctrl+alt+delete to get rid of the ones that freeze (usually the last remaining 2), and I notice that even with the windows closed, iexplorer.exe will be listed numerous times (say about 12), and my CPU usage is listed at 100%. I'm clueless as to why this is happening. I've run Ad Aware, SpyBot, CWShreader, and AVG, but no luck. (Yes, checked for updates before running, hehe.) ANY help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
