For the past month when I have been on the web I get a
blank window popup with the header: http://www.system-
update.net/popups/old/popupxx.htm-Microsoft Internet
Explorer. The xx is a number ie 14, 20,etc. How can I
stop it.

Thanks, Bob
 
IE 6. check for parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
