Browser windows keep popping up

I am having a problem with IE browser windows. When I am
working in WordPerfect 9.0, I experience constant popping
up of browser windows and I have not even connected to the
internet. They just keep poping up left and right. We are
on a network but we connect by a dial up modem. I would
have to click on the IE icon to go online. Has anyone
experienced such a thing? This is really frustrating
because it is interfering with my work, it slows my
computer down and sometimes it freezes up and I get
Illegal Operation errors. I have even tried a pop-up
stopper but it still keeps happening, the pop-up blocker
catches some of them but there are too many.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
 
That sounds like spyware to me, so I'd suggest a spyware killer. I can't
officially recommend or link to one for legal reasons, but I see many
mentions of AdAware in this newsgroup, so you might start there. I'm sure
you can find it via your favorite search engine.
