Uncontrollable Popups

[John]

I have some type of popup program that has attached
itself to Internet Explorer. I've updated to the most
current version and it's still there...i even tried to
remove IE and reinstall and that was ineffective against
this. The way it works is regardless of what site i
navigate to, popups just keep opening up, or a little
side bar appears. Does anyone know how to get rid of
this?

Hi,
You need to remove the program that's causing this. Work through the
solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

This sounds like a case of spyware. It most likely came
from some program that was installed on your pc. I would
run Ad-aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy to find all the
traces of spyware and remove them. Hope this helps!
