Hi Shreyank,

Looks like you are not using Internet Explorer's Popup Blocker feature.

Click Tools to Internet Options to Privacy and check Block pop-ups and
click Apply then open Settings to adjust.

Also are you using any Spyware porgram, like Spybot, Ad-aware or McAfee
Anti-Spyware programs?

For Folders, click on My Computer then open a Drive. At the top, click
Tools then Folder Options. Make your choices in that window. Click Apply
then OK. Close all windows, then see if you still have a problem.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
