1. Scan the system with Ad-Aware, Spybot
SpyBot S&D searches your harddisk for Spyware and Adware
http://security.kolla.de/
and
Adaware (similar)

2. Disable Active Scripting in browser:
To disable Active Scripting for a particular Web site, you can add that site
to the Restricted Sites zone, and then disable Active Scripting and other
content for the Restricted Sites zone. This prevents most pop-ups from
working, but only for the sites which you add to the Restricted Sites zone.
To add a site to the Restricted Sites zone in Internet Explorer:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click Restricted Sites, and then click Sites.
In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the Web address for the site
that you want to restrict, and then click Add. Repeat this step if you want
to add other sites to the zone.
Click OK.
Click Default Level to set the Restricted Sites zone to the recommended
level, which disables Active Scripting.
Click OK.
You can also disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer for all sites.
You might not want to use this method, because it prevents other scripts
from running. This might cause many Web sites to be displayed incorrectly.
3. Install a pop-up killer or a firewall which supports pop-up blocking (ZA)

How do you stop incoming web ads from opening explorer
without authorization. My son's online games are
minimized by popup ads from the internet connection.
