IE6 banner and pop ups

[Dave Terifay]

Hi folks......I use IE6 and like it, I just recently have
noticed that the top "banner" on the IE6 window states
the website I am on, plus "Microsoft Internet Explorer
provided by AT&T Worldnet Service". How did that get
there? And to make matters worse, I now get multiple
popup ads which are all "brought to you by AT&T Worldnet
Service", no matter what site I go to. How do I get rid
of the banner stuff, as well as the the pop-ups????
Help! Thanks to all....David Terifay

I have just loaded Windows XP and Office XP in the last
week and am getting the same type problem......
I had already been using IE 6.0 before this and never
noticed this on the title bar
Microsoft Newsgroups - "Microsoft Internet Explorer
providie by Comcast High-Speed Internet"
