has anyone else had this problem?

it is still occuring and i would like to know what to do.

also, i get a program window that pops up (not a mesenger service window)
but a steel-blue window (from some program) that give me "related links" to
a page i am lookin at. none of my spyware programs seem to find it at all.

i would like to get rid of it, and stop Internet Explorer from launching
automatically and displaying ads. (my pop-up blocker is set to only allow
direct browser launch, yet they still show up).

please help.
