I have a pop up blocker on my machine, but I'm still
getting pop ups with IE. How do I stop them? I have a
cable modem.

First eliminate any scumware.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
