Annoying
Right when i go to some websites (and not all) I keep getting ads pop up all over the place. I have run Ad Aware, Spybot S&D and i have Spywareblaster installed, but i still get them. How can i stop it?

Re: Annoying
The Google toolbar has a popup-stopper that is quite effective. And the Google toolbar is a very nice addition to IE.
Edit: thanks Nem

Re: Annoying
Use an alternative browser that has popup / adbanner blockers built in.
eg Firefox
If you are an IE user then get myIE2 or Maxthon as it's now known.
It's a a frontend for IE, with all the whizzbangs, bells and whistles IE should have had. www.myie2.com

Re: Annoying
Mozilla Firefox !
Since installing that browser and ditching Internet Explorer I've had no pop ups at all.
Also use the Thunderbird mail program from them too. Its much better than Microsofts outlook and both the browser and mail application have a million less vulnerabilities and security flaws that IE has.
