it's the fact that IE is on my computer... I can't delete it though because a whole lot of stuff runs by it. without it my computer and conection would be trash...

I recommend Bazooka Spyware/Adaware Scanner. It picks up stuff way faster then other programs (like 10 seconds at most). The problem is it only finds your problem. Then you click a link and gotta remove it manually.

just letting you know, I did that, it doesn't work. This stuff must be hidden

then ur kinda screwd..uninstall all toolbars and use this pop up blocker...the best out there

[Freidmont]

Using the Google toolbar, Popup Blocker ect. won't do a thing because the popups aren't being spawned through the browser..my recommendation is to run Ad-Aware, update the definitions & scan, then download Spy Sweeper, update the definitions & scan again...that should probably fix your problem.

ppl just dont understand the diff between browserspawned popups and  spyware drivin popups ......any who  if that doesnt work look thru ur add remove programs for suspicious lookin things like Lycos Toolbar and stuff like that.  If that doesnt stop them, ONLY IF U KNOW WUT UR DOIN reboot ur comp in safemode, login as Admin, goto C:\Program Files\  and delete anything that u didnt install......hope that helps

I strongly recommend you download this freeware here: http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/
It works VERY well!

If these are popping even when you are not browsing the web, then I would recommend you check your services and disable "Messenger" service. It is a net service that has been exploited especially if you are on a broadband connection.
This is not the instant messenger service; it was used to send messages over a network connection to another pc. If you have any questions, PM me BEFORE you do anything and I’ll try to help.
