If it is affecting off-line content then it sounds like a serious bit of
spyware has made it onto your PC. There are various spyware killers about
but the best known I think is Spybot Search and destroy off the
www.jfwlite.com website under "programs". I would give this a try.

Subject: [access-uk] Serious problem with internet explorer
Hi
I have a serious problem with internet explorer I am hoping someone =
could
please help with. =20
Basically, about every thirty seconds, I am getting an advertisement =
coming
up in a new internet explorer window. I cannot get the address of the =
site
as jaws says that the address bar is not found, however, I do know it is =
the
same site every time.
I have tried some of the programs for stopping such adverts, =
particularly
the program George mentioned on this list a day or so back, but nothing
seems to work. This includes the Google toolbar and Popup Stopper. =
But
internet explorer is becoming pretty unusable at the moment because of =
this
problem. =20
The worse thing is that it even affects content which is off line. If I
browse an HTML page off-line, the new internet explorer window appears =
every
thirty seconds, but at that time, it says that the page cannot be =
displayed,
obviously because the new page cannot be loaded as there is no =
connection to
the internet.
I should mention that I have been down the Ad-Aware route, and removed
anything which it found, but still no luck.
It is always the same ad, which I shall paste at the end of this =
message.
If you have any ideas of things I can try, please please let me know as =
I
need to get this sorted out pretty quickly.
Thanks.
Brian
