When I close the MSIE window in which I ran Windows Update on a Windows
2000 system, a new MSIE window opens behind it, with an advertisement
for life insurance, registry cleaners, or whatever. I don't think that
Microsoft is responsible for these ads, so I assume the computer is
infected with Adware. I ran Lavsoft Adaware and found a few things
which I deleted, after which it came up clean, but the ads still keep
coming. Can anyone suggest what else I might do to exorcise the machine?
