make sure that you update your spybot search & Destroy - they just had an update a day or so ago. and run it again. You ran housecall... try running panda online. It sometimes finds things that housecall doesn't. http://www.pandasoftware.com/ a lot of web pages now create pop ups, so just surfing, will create pop ups. You don't necessarily need to have anything on your computer that is creating them - It won't hurt to put a pop up stopper on.

This looks more like there is a virus inside my computer, no use to use = a pop-up killer now because it has already put itself in my computer. They are pop-ups with ads about Viagra and how much in danger I am. sylvia.
