its malware. I had to restore my computer to factory settings. There is an option to do that when you start up. you should backup all important files before you do this (movies, music, anime, documents, ect...)
You might want to try this: Install tht Yahoo toolbar. It has a function to automaticaly stop pop-ups, even before windows does. Hopes this helps Lowie
