Oookayyyy.. I have no idea how I got this on my computer (you never know) but when I open a page for example tatysite.net I get re-directed to all these sites with pop-ups etc.. You know which ones I mean hopefully.. I find them SO annoying and I have no idea how to remove them. I tried with Ad-Aware but they're still there.. There should be some folder in C:/WINDOWS right? (I have Windows.. duh :P) Anyone able to help me out?

Thanks in advance to those who help.

Write down links and try them to find and remove from the register (Start > Run > regedit).

...or you could clear your history, empty temporary internet files and delete all the cookies...

and why don't you simply use opera or mozilla?

crni, because IE is the best :P It's the one I'm most comfortable with, plus when I make my website, I make it for IE so I need to check how it looks.. :bum: But, yeah.. I'll survive. :dead:

QueenBee, I keep my computer clean with SpyBot. It's dangerous because it unables some spyware that programs you download for free need to run, but I'll rather live comfortable than live knowing that someone is sucking my personal data out of my computer.

Try getting Google Search Bar. It has a fantastic pop-up blocking feature. :p
