Now I know when surfing the net you are bound to get
popups. I dont have a problem with that, well I do but
thats not the problem. The problem is I am getting popups
when my IE isn't running. Like when I first boot up my
system and walk away for a few minutes I return to see 3
or more of these popups on my screen. Or when I am playin
a game online or whatever. So I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and in
my task box it shows that IExplore is running even though
I never opened it. Now what I want to know is why is this
happening and how do I put a stop to it.
 
try getting a program like "ad aware" that searches for
spyware on your computer. it looks like you have an .exe
file running that opens your IE so that it can retrieve
these pages.
do you get the same when disconnected? if your always
connected see if their is a way to disconnect then see if
pop ups still appear. they will show page not displayed
if retrieving pages from web. if still showing pages a on
your system somewhere.
