RE: Pop ups in IE 7

Since I can't seem to start a new thread, I thought I'd just reply. I keep
getting those stupid Advertising popus in IE7 and have NO idea why. Can
anyone help me with this?? Thanks in advance.

Use a newsreader to follow a newsgroup, instead of a web interface, and
you'll have no trouble starting a new thread.

"Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader"

"Accessing Newsgroups With Windows Mail"

As for your question: Remove the adware that has infected your computer.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

One explanation for your (vague) symptoms would be that you have popup blockers active
and are misinterpreting messages about blocking the apparent popups which replies from
the web interface that you are using are implemented by.

Try disabling all popup stoppers?
