Hi there

I am using Internet Explorer 6.0.26 and whenever I start the program, I
get a popup window that says "computer error" and another that warns me
about spyware ware. These are obviously ads, but they open both my CD
and my DVD drive automatically.

The whole proces is annoying. How would I fix this?

Thank you.
 
Hi,

1) Install and run Adaware from www.lavasoft.de

2) Install and run Spybot from www.safer-networking.org

3) Install and run Spyware Blaster from
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

4) Turn on the native firewall or install a third-party one (a third party
firewall will notify you of outgoing traffic as spyware programs "phone
home", the native one won't).

I can't seem to find the specific problem of why the CD drives are
opening and can't remove the pop-ups either.....any more suggestions is
appreciated.
