I have a pop up blocker for my internet explorer and for my Yahoo SBC Browser, but recently (after a system restore) I have been getting pop ups from internet explorer (i use my yahoo browser). After a few days of only a couple pop ups, they started getting worse, now when i look at my desktop there are new icons there for advertisements, like i installed something. But I haven't, I click the 'x' on all the pop ups, I don't download anything. Now i have accumulated about 3 new icons, two for casinos and the other one i think it was a game room or something like that.
My question is, where are these comming from all the sudden, are they hurting my computer or memory space, and how do I stop them? Like i said, i have both my pop up blockers on high, and haven't had this problem before.
