hi
I am having too much problems whenever i leave IE open on
my computer even w/o browsing. When i return, at least 10-
15 popups have appeared.
Ive tried cleansing with SpyBot and AdAware...but it
doesnt seem to be a permanent solution.

I even downloaded the latest IE 6.0 (along with security
patches) but doesnt help.

Are there any specific security settings i must make in IE
and/or some other trick.

Computer experts, please please help!!!

Which operating system are you using? I have XP, am using Popup
Manager (freeware) which can be used with IE on all types of Windows
from win95 up. http://www.endpopups.com

Also have a hosts file downloaded from
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

My son tells me that Spybot itself provides a hosts file, although I
don't know the details.

Try this utility, it is a last-chance tool against Spyware in the event that
Ad-aware and SpyBot don't work for you.
