Hello all,


I have Microsoft Messenger turned off and have enabled popup blocker in IE6
and I'm still getting popup windows. The popups are all related to malware
and adware. If I click on the popups

HINT : Don't ever, NEVER, *E*V*E*R*, click on popoups.

they always go to different websites
where they're trying to sell me some software to get rid of the popups. I
think the popups belong to the same people that are trying to sell the popup
removal software. This is driving me crazy because I have installed several
anti-virus programs but none of them can get rid of the pesky malware.

Is there anything I can do to stop this invasion short of formatting my hard
drive?
