Probably been asked a million times, but i have a
problem. When I launch IE 6.0, I get 2 popups - the same
ones each time. How can I get rid of these? Thanks in
advance!

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

They are really excruciatingly annoying! It's hard for me
to understand there are people so hung up on making money
that they are willing to impose a little bit of suffering
upon a lot of people --which amuont to a lot of
suffering. I really truly despise those people!

I had the same problem, and fixed it by having my router
block all traffic to domains containing the following
terms (which I found in the web page that popped up):

vipadvantagecard
icardservices
freecooloffers
cardtraffic
fastfind

It's a brute-force approach but I couldn't find the source
of my misery (= those stupid popups), and it worked, so...

I keep hoping some hackers will finally do something
useful, and DDoS attack those sites... :-)
