M8, sounds like a virus/ad-ware issue to me, download ad-aware personal edition and scan your PC!!

mozilla firefox is a fantastic browser, it stops basically all useless popups, and is totally free..I urge everyone here to try it..

www.download.com should have it.. or search in google etc

Cheers, its seems as all popups are gone and now it comes up with a "page cannot be found" instead of the seach page. Has it something to do with the internet connection?

try downloading "hi jack this" spybot and adaware. scan with all 3 though when scanning with hijack this be careful what you block as it doesnt only pick up nasty things but some things you need as well. then delete your temporary internet files and cookies. and download zone alarm from download.com and install it and it will pick things up trying to get out and into your computer and u can allow or block what you want.

hit the monitor with a polo mallet or reformat it if you have no further luck... a fresh reformat is always good for the soul

when it brings up a pop up or a page not found, does the url change in the browser?
have you installed one of those smiley menus or a my search bar?

in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
