These annoying pop-ups!

Ugh, these pop-ups are meant to destroy me!
Every time I use IE, boom! Swarm of a thousand setinels, I mean, pop-ups!
I put the Google toolbar in that stopped pop-ups, and for some reason, some parasite a pop-up sent disabled the toolbar.
Then I switched to Netscape, and those pop-ups still swarm! (They pop-up in IE, even though I use Netscape.)
Is there a way to terminate these pesky ads?!
Thank you so much for helping me if you do!

That's what I did. But for some reason, a parasite disabled it.

EDIT: I'm talking about the Google search bar.

Download Mozilla, you can just turn off pop ups with it.

The same thing happened to me, I used google search bar to disable pop ups but then something made it stop working *sigh* so I don't use IE anymore, only Mozilla.

You probably have some sort of spyware. Try to delete it.

Um, don't you have to pay in order to delete spyware?
And I don't know where the spyware is.

you dont have to pay to delete spyware.

Just download AdAware or Spybot Search&Destroy (Both FREE by the way) look for them at download.com

After you've gotten rid of the spyware, switch to FireFox. www.mozilla.org

It absolutely pwns IE.

A browser is a browser they all do the same thing but anyways I had that happen to me too with ie Ive tried every spywhere program I can find to make it stop and none of them have got rid of what is makeing the popups. The funny thing is when I type adware or spyware into my search I get the same popup to buy some remover but I dont buy things and I cant find anywhere else that has that program that they are trying to sell in thier popup. I just use netscape now and I dont have the problem as for you still getting popups when useing netscape make netscape your default browser and that should stop it if it doesnt just uninstall ie all together or reformat.

I had firefox its good but cant read some modifications and other stuff on site/forums. So I removed it and switched to CrazyBrowser. Though i also have IE and MSN Explorer 7 B)
