YOu may also have some spyware on your systm I use webroot spy sweeper it only costs a tenner and is somtimes free in PC Format magazine.

The good thing about it is all updates are free and it does what it sez on the tin.

Hope this helps

Spy sweeper is good but there are lots of free programs like spybot and ad-aware that will do a similar job, adblocker is ok but it only stops the pop-ups, if there is spyware on your pc its best to get shot of it altogether.. after all..prevention is better that cure.

I ahve just installed and run spybot from download.com, it found 55 issues 2 of them trojan's, most of the crap is from my daughter and bear share, roll on christmass when she is on her own laptop and leave my pc alone

SpyBot is a must for all PC owners.
