I am running IE 6 on Windows ME. Starting two days ago, there were
browsers open at random time with mainly junk ads (without me clicking
on anything). I have Pop Up Blocker installed and that didn't help
much. I have used NoAdware and Ad-aware software on the computer to
get ride of spyware. I ran Norton Anti-virus, nothing came up as
virus. Also, when I type in "yahoo.com" instead of "www.yahoo.com" on
the File, Open box, it would say address not valid. I know something
is on the computer... just can't get rid of it! Please help!!!
