Pop-up webpages

[Steve]

I have IE 6 for windows XP. Starting about last week,
hundreds of web pages have been popping up on my comp, even
when there are no browsers being used. The webpages that
pop are all IE, never Netscape, or Opera or Earthlink,
which are all browsers on my comp. Anyone has any
suggestions? Thanks

Search for Spyware or go to www.lavasoftusa.com. Download their adaware
application which will get rid of all the pop-ups for you.

Hope this helps,
