Rolf -
 I can't help as of yet, but I am having the exact same
problems. One thing that's different is that I use Mozilla
Firefox as a browser, but I still get IE popups. I run
spybot, ad-aware, and McAfee, all to no avail. Ad-aware and
spybot can find new stuff all the time, but it keeps coming
back somehow after I remove them. I started compiling a
list of the sites where the popups originate from, so I can
maybe send them to Microsoft. Dunno what else to do. I have
2 firewalls up and spyware and virus programs up all the
time. Plus Firefox is supposed to block all popups. I am
looking vigorously into this as I am about to lose my
friggin' sanity over it. If I find out anything at all,
I'll let you know. Let me know if you hear anything -
Thanks - Dan.
