hey there, those flashy popups are brought by spyware residing on your system. i just had the same problem but you can remove them by downloading a good spyware application and running an update before running a full system scan. i would reccommend ad-aware antispyware from www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html or spyware doctor from www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/download/ but i would roccomend spyware doctor. remember to update before scanning...that would get rid of those annoying pop ups
