I dont get any while using this forum. Do you have the newest version of internet explorer? sounds to me like you have spyware on your computer.

Id suggest going here http://www.safer-networking.org/ and download this program. Run it and get rid of the spyware you have.

Also, running mozilla instead of internet explorer helps weed out a lot of problems. The hackers get past internet explorer pretty easy.

If you're running Firefox, then it will block pop ups for you. Look under Tools - Options - Content. If that is checked to block pop ups, then you have some type of spyware and/or Trojan that is causing the popups. Another good program is Hijack This, which lists all the programs, services and processes running on your PC and the ability to shut them down.
