Go to blockpopups.com and they have a very good program that makes all pop ups that u dont want stop, it helped me i had the same problem as u did and i was very annoyed when they would pop up so this website helped me a lot.

If you downloaded any freeware such as screen savers or backgrounds you probably unwittingly downloaded a file called AdVantage look for it with your search feature and uninstall it.I hope this works for you.You may also try to uninstall a program by the name of Context Enhancer.This seamed to do it for me. Good Luck

POPUP BLOCKER & MORE ONE OF THE FIRST THING A PERSON NEEDS TO DO IS TO REMEMBER TO GO TO: 1. ACCESS INTERNET OPTIONS (TOOL, CONTROL PANEL ETC.) 2. PRIVACY TAB-CLICK 3. MAKE SURE THE POPUP BLOCKER BOX HAS A CHECK MARK IN IT, IF THEN DO SO. CLICK APPLY AND OK 4. ALSO MOVE THE SLIDER BAR ABOVE IT TO MED-HIGH FOR THIRD PARTY COOKIES AS THAT CAN BE USED TO CONTACT YOU, WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. 5. ALSO ON THE SECURITY TAB, SET THE SLIDER BAR AT MED-HIGH AGAIN, THIS BLOCKS A LOT OF UNSAFE CONTENT AND UNSIGNED ACTIVEX CONTROLS. AGAIN IF YOU MAKE CHANGES - CLICK APPLY AND OK 6.IF THIS DOES BLOCK ENOUGH OF THE POPUP, BE SURE AND CHECK YOU INTERNET PROVIDER AND SOME OF THEM OFFER A SETTING THOUGH THEIR TOOL, FOR BLOCKING POPUP, TURN OFF OR ON. 7. YOU ALSO CAN GO TO www.snapfiles.com, TO THE FREEWARE SECTION AND THE LOOK FOR POPUP BLOCKER, THIS TAKES YOU TO SEVERAL PROGRAMS TO CHOOSE FROM. 8. ALSO TRY www.pcworld.com, LOOK AT TOP OF PAGE WHERE IT SAYS DOWNLOADS, CLICK AND WHEN BOX COMES UP TYPE IN POPUP BLOCKER PROGRAM AND AGAIN YOU WILL FIND A FEW MORE PROGRAM TO TRY.

This is caused by Spyware known as "Vundo". If you do a Google search (as well as a YouTube search) you can find several suggestions for how to remove it. No popular anti-spyware program at this time can remove the Vundo trojan. It's a very complex infection and will often take time and patience.
