Mcafee does that. Don't visit special sites and you won't have these problems. |

Stop using Internet Explorer too. It's incredibly unsafe. Try Firefox, it's different at first but you will gow to love it because it is amazing. No pop-ups! :drool: |

Yes there is a way to remove Internet Explorer, but it is not recomended as IE is required for windows update. |

Though if I keep it, it'll still bring pop-ups correct? or if you use firefox and not it, the pop ups won't appear? I know some things coimputers, but this IE I have no idea about. :wacko: |

IE is bad. It could block pop-ups but only with some toolbar, like the google toolbar. firefox has a built-in one, extentions, themes, and tabbed browsing! :w00t: For more reasons, visit here or here. |

Just don't ever open it for anything but windows update and it should be fine. |

Yeah, it's a good software. I agree. I'm using FireFox now, but the ie pop-ups are continueing to pop up and i'm not even using ie. I don't understand this at all. now it my messenger is crashed over the pop ups ie is causing. i guess i'll have to reformat my computer and use ie once and then install firefox and use it after. that's the only solution i have. |

do spyware scans, virus scans, and if all else fails...I'm not the person you should be taking advice from then.

Yup, install Lavasoft Ad-Aware, run it, then restart and run it again. |
