IE spyware ads /pop ups when browser is closed

[Guest]

I keep having IE window opening with spayware software ads even when the ie
is closed.

The message bar says internet explorer and warning. . It’s an ad for
spayware that changes with a different message each time

No spyware will keep this widow that pops up every few minutes
Is their a particular spaware that has created this? or any suggestions for
this specific problem

I have the google pop up blocker which keeps all ads off when ie is open.
This occurs when ie is closed.

i have all the latest spyware programs adware, spybot, ms anti
spy, about buster, the cleaner, cw shedder and none of them work

Look into installing HiJackThis. This is an extensive spyware removal tool.
You will then need to post your scan log to a HiJackThis web forum so that
someone can "guide" you in removing the sticky spyware.

This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on
your system. Use Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it.

Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

check for common parasites

If the ad looks like a Windows Messenger Service box, see:

If no joy, in IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Browsing
section, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", click Apply, click
Okay, reboot. If that solves your problem, then more troubleshooting is
needed to find out exactly which program, or Browser Helper Object (BHO) is
causing this problem. You don't want to leave it at that, as some BHOs are
useful or necessary - like Adobe Acrobat for reading .pdf files or an
essential component of Norton AV. Get BHODemon -
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm - read all about BHOs.
Disable all items, and then gradually replace one or two at a time to narrow
down the culprit.

Or if you have IE 6 SP-2 you can do this within the browser:

If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the
spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet. In that case....
