Hi, adware is an kind of infamous disgusting virus, and the virus can hack your IE browser to popup some annoying popups
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.
firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spywareware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

I highly recommend you using Mozilla Firefox. If you are currently using Internet Explorer, you are highly vulnerable to adaware,and pop ups. With Mozilla, you wont get any of that. Go to www.mozilla.org

I would check and see if programs have been downloaded from the internet have been installed onto your pc. Sometimes popups with ask you about installing programs and can be accidentally installed. If so, highlight the ones you don't want and remove. Regards.

Yahoo toolbar has a great pop up blocker. Download, install and enable.
