i had recently installed the lastest IE patch b4 installing SP2 (i had been
puttin it off because i hardly use IE anymore) and suddenly, my IE will give
me large quantities of pop-ups when im not around. (like when i only go to
the logon screen without logging out.

when i get back on, i have around 30-some odd IE windows open with ads...
this only occured after i installed the patch.

i quickly installed sp2 in hopes it would fix it, but to no avail.

i am constantly runnin various spyware removal tools like Ad-ware, spybot
S&D, CWshredder, and i religiously run the AVG virus scanner

i am hoping that sumone will be able to help me, thanks in advanced.
