Your home page probably has a pop up page that activates
when you hit the page. Bankrate.com does this, also.

Get and run these four programs (if you test after each one you can stop
when the problem is gone):
Ad-Aware:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com
and
Spybot - Search & Destroy -
http://security.kolla.de/
http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
http://spybot.eon.net.au/
http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/
and
BHO Demon: http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/
and
SpywareBlaster:

Until the problem is solved.

If the problem site is your home page:

If the problem is a pop-up window, your computer may have been hijacked.

them in the future have a look at the link below:
