IE6 and popup messages

[Kyle]

Well....

Several weeks ago, while using AOL DSL, I began to
receive some pop up messages that were in a grey box with
plain text. I looked at my DSL router and saw that there
was a lot of traffic coming in on some wierd port
numbers. SO... there was a suggestion I followed and now
I can use AOL and the IE browser that is part of AOL, but
I cannot use IE independently of AOL. Meaning, in the
past, I could open AOL and minimize it and use IE from
the desktop and it worked fine. Now, I can't use IE from
the desktop at all....

HELP........

Kyle,

"SO... there was a suggestion I followed"

And what suggestion was that? Did you block one of the Ports IE uses?
