Recently, IE6 has started to randomly produce obscene
pop-ups while im on the internet. Also, when i go into the
View menu, and select Toolbars, it has two extra toolbars
that shouldn't e there, called : I-Lookup.com Bar, and
Ihhpyiecric.
The result on these ( I beleive) is to cause certain
words, such as "date" and "ass" to be underlined while
browsing, acting as links to other obscene sites. Does
anybody know of antything I can do? I have tried to
unistall, and reinstall, but it has no effect.

Thanks.
 
Try downloading and running Spyware programs like Spybot
S&D and Ad-Aware. I would guess they'll get rid of your
toolbars and maybe the pop-ups.

If you have programs like Kazaa running in the background
they might be producing your pop-up issues as well.

Also, use Ad-Aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) to scan for any other spyware.
