hi all! thanks for any help in advance. I have this
annoying problem when i run ie6 on win2000. there
intermittent pop ups keep coming up that direct me to a
website (www.easypopupblocker.com) that doesnt exist. it's
listed under task manager as a internet explorer window.
this pop up replicates itself about 15 times before i can
close it. needless to say, i want it gone. ive tried
unistalling ie6 and reinstalling it but to no avail.
alternative browsers are not affected. please help!!! -

get a decent popup blocker ...ad-aware comes to mind.
also google toolbar has popup blocker.

also find spybot (google.com) and run it ....supprised
what else is on your computer....

the one popping up is probably spyware.
