Hello,
I am being bombarded with pop-up Advertisememnt.

Ant suggestions on the best way to resolve this annoying
issue ?

I am running IE 6.0.

Thanks much.
 
Hello John
You have been infested with malware & ad-aware & possible hi-jackers.
Run 1-4 on this list.

You may even have to go into the system config. utility (startup tab) and
remove any checkmarks on some programs running that are causing spyware to
run at startup.
Start>Run>(type) msconfig
Do a Google search on anything that you do not recognize.

Hope This Helps

If these are occurring while at your desktop and not necessarily browsing
the Internet, the best way to resolve it is with a firewall. There are
several free versions as well as the XP built-in firewall. To enable the XP
firewall, open Control Panel, open Network Connections, right click "Local
Area Connection," select properties, go to the Advanced tab and enable the
XP firewall.

If this is happening while browsing the Internet, then as others have
suggested, a good popup blocker would be advisable, at least until XP SP2 is
released as it will have a very good popup blocker of its own. A good free
popup blocker is PopUp Stopper, www.panicware.com.
