I have tried everything

[Angua]

There are some free programs out there which install an extra program (the reason it's free) so the only way to permanantly get rid of these things is to rid yourself of the "free" program as well or use a startup monitor to stop the annoying part running.

Personally I do not think this is a problem on your system. What it is asking you to do is login into a advertising companies website, obviously someone at their end has been playing with something like ILS and set it so it asks for a password which would be one on their corporate network. That is my theory. If you post the link to the site you are having trouble with I will take a look.

i'd agree with matthew... dont think there's anything like spyware or a virus causing the problem....

it may be worth checking in your control panel, in add/remove programs... then windows components and make sure that 'internet information services (IIS) is unticked.

[Matthew]

I was talking about ILS on the web server rather then the personal computer.

If a link to one of the effecting sites can be provided it would help.

Thanks for the offer.

At work now but will post it tonight.

[Raistlin]

Just out of interest, what sites are you visiting when you get that popup?

[ic2]

Hi,

here is one of the sites: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=20

[Raistlin]

Do you get it on the main page or just certain pages?

[ic2]

As soon as I go to that page, up it pops?

[Raistlin]

Ok, thanks.

Just wanted to see if I could replicate it, it appears that I can't - I don't get that box come up on my system.

[ic2]

wow

must be a setting on my machine but since installing XoftSpy, it has stopped. That must block something, but for the life of me, goodness knows what, I even played around with Java script blocking and scripting in IE security setting but no joy.

[iron25]

Have you done a search in the registry for the url that it goes to because it must be stored somewhere on your PC
