In the past several days, all of a sudden, I keep getting
interruptions while using my browser. It is like other
windows are opening, but nothing is there. Almost like
pop-ups, only this happens rapidly and repeatedly to the
point that I cannot control it. It leaves the task bar
with several "open" items which I can't clear.

This happens regardless of the site I select to view and
the address of this is:

"http:\\xads.cliks.org/ctx/web_context.php?url" etc.,
etc. The address is about 3 lines long.

I am using Microsoft XP Professional and am on a cable
connection to the web.
 
Lou,
Download and run Adaware or Spybot, both easily found on the Web free.
Then get a Firewall, Zonealarm is free and popular.
I use Adshield to stop popups, again free.
You will need to do a bit of reading to get the best out of these programmes
but it will save you a lot of grief in the long run.

Good luck !
