Windows XP Problem with window pop ups

[custard266]

After rebooting my system I find that in Internet Explorer that windows are opening automatically even if named in the restricted site zone. I have McAfee security centre and Norton Anti Virus installed on windows xp but can't seem to stop these pop up adverts. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Sounds like you have a bit of a spyware/adware infection going on.

I would suggest running some detection and removal tools on your machine.

Have a look at this

A good place to start. And also here are some more tools under the section [font=Arial, sans-serif]Spyware Scanners /Remover/Blockers

Also, make sure you only run one antivirus program at a time or you'll run into troubles.
