The NDO32 virus program and ad-aware programs cleansed everything still the annoying problem is there. The internet security is also ok. What to do?

You might want to check your hosts file...
In windows xp the hosts file is usually located under
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
You will have to open the hosts file with notepad, but it should contain some information Quoted out by the # sign's and usually one entry..
127.0.0.1 localhost
If you find an entry that says yahoo, Delete it, or put a # sign in front of it and save the file ex:
#125.208.166.221 yahoo.com
This means your host file was changed to redirect you when you type yahoo.com in your address bar to another server..
putting the # sign will cause the computer to ignore that line..

you could also look what programs you have in add and remove programs, and remove the programs that look like spyware. i am very sure that this is some addware you accidentally downloaded that makes the popups come out for you.
