Pop-ups on Windows Internet Explorer

Are you running a Firewall? such as Zonealarm's latest version.
If so, you may need to uninstall & reinstall it.

But doing just a normal uninstall won't be enough, there are many files, .DLLs & a VXD file located in the C:\Windows\System folder that are not removed & need to be before it will reinstall properly.
Email me if this is the case.

There are a number of Spyware elimination software packages out on the web that can help as well. I have made sure that each of my workstations have a copy of the software installed. From there, the software is run at least monthly. You would be suprised how much "garbage" these programs pull from your hard drive. If you do a great deal of music downloads using free, downloadable software, or use GATOR or similar packages that allow "auto-completion", these often embed garbage hidden througout your operating system.Keep in mind that some freeware software such as this may stop functioning once the spyware software is run, as it is a critical integration for their software - the freeware is often paid through the use of such pop-up ads as these.

As a sidenote, you can also install software to "prevent" (read limit), popups from opening. One example is Popup Stopper from www.panicware.com

When the "pop-ups" are happening, from the parent browser, choose File -> work offline, close the popups and continue on with the surfin'. . cheers.
