Hi Frikkie,

Start installing and running

AdAware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot - http://security.kolla.de/

There are some popup blockers available ou there - you might have a
look at http://www.webattack.com/freeware/misctools/fwpopblock.shtml

I for myself use the Google search bar that has a nice integrated pop
blocker.

Kind regards

It sounds like you may have some Pest software that's made it's way to
your PC. I use a product called PestPatrol to remove these.

You may also want to check your default home page in IE6. Go to menu
Tools/Internet Options.

Hope that helps
