I've been receiving several Pop messages lately on the
lines of junk mail. It seems that if I am connected for 10
plus minutes, there seems to be pop messages whether it's
relating to porn or jews converting, etc...

Does anyone know how I could disable this in IE?

Thanks in advance

Joe,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
