The easiest way is to enable your popup blocker

Most likely you have some spyware, or you have a home page selected that uses popups. Do you have popup blocker turned on in internet options?

Search for and use the following utilities to take care of most your problems: Winpatrol, Superantispyware, Ccleaner, Avast

Lastly, make sure that ALL windows updates have been installed - INCLUDING IE7.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.


Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php


Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
