Ok I never use IE I use firefox but recently, even so often a pop up random comes up in an IE window - even when I have no internet page open. I think it may be because of something that I have recently installed but cant figure out what. The pop-up blocker is on in firefox, IE, and my anti virus. I have uninstalled some possible programmes from the control panel but still no help.

Anyone know what is causing them, because they're very annoying :mad:
 
You have malware on your system. Please go to the security section of the forum and read the stickied thread that's titled "please read before posting" and follow the instructions in there. Run malwarebytes and hijackthis and post both logs back here. I'm at work or I would give you the instructions and links to download the programs.
 
Now that I'm home and able to post specific instructions....
