I am running on windows XP and I was using the SBC yahoo browser with the pop ups set to off and medium filters.

It starts as a pop up, then the little yellow flashing trianlge appears on the tool bar, and when I scroll over it, it says nothing and if I right click, it opens. So I ignore it and it opens a window that claims to be an Internet Explorer alert, but when I click on it, it sends me to ads for various anti virus software, that they want me to buy (not the well known ones either).

I have run "spy bot search and destroy", "AVG free", and "Ad-aware 6.0" and came up with a few data miners which I cleaned out. I have deleted all cookies and internet files, I have defragged and switch to "Mozilla Firefox"

I think it may be connected to my Internet Explorer, because it now automaticly signs in when I turn my computer on. I use SBC yahoo for my DSL service. What should I do?

I am getting a virus in my aapt email daily. I use AVG and update it reguarly and also scan with spybot search and destroy.
I never open these suspect emails. My provider tells me just to delete these emails. What else can I do? I am using windows XP.

Have you received any e-mails indicating you have won a good sum of money through e-mail lotteries? I don't believe them but everything sounds so right! should I trust them and submit information?
