Unwanted Pop Ups

[Jason]

Hello. Some how I started getting pop-ups from sites I
did not want. So I uninstalled IE then offline I used
Spybot and Adware to get rid of they undesirable things.
I then reinstalled the IE and after a little while of
surfing on the net, the pops where back. I use a browser
called Moxilla now. I have no pop-ups with Moxilla. So
the pop-ups are attched to IE some how but I dont know
how. Can you tell me how to get rid of them once and for
all? I want to go back to IE. Thanks for the help.

Wrong. You must install a separate pop-up stopper. Go to www.panicware.com
and get a free version.

Any idea why Mozilla firefox has no issues with it? The
site of concern is www.zestyfinds.com. When I open IE the
pop-ups start. I close it down and then open Mozilla.
Mozilla has no pop-ups. It can't even find the site. Why
is one affected (infected) but the other is not? Thanks
for the help.

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

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
