Probably your machine.... cause I have a pop-up blocker and it's actually turned OFF for SBA... And I never get pop-ups.... go to http://www.cnet.com and download a program called Spy Bot Search & Destroy. In addition, you can also run Lavasoft Adaware. These are both free programs.

Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. It's generally more stable than IE anyway.

beware on spybot, it doesnt clean the registry. but it does give u the registry values so u can edit them yourself.

I use CCleaner for the registry. Works wonders.

nice snochica. my sister likes software like that too. but i prefer to do it all the by hand and search with my own eyes. plus cnet.com is pretty trustworthy of a site. so if there where viruses in the application they would not post it.

Throw AOL out the window. Just kidding. It's gotta be some spyware of some sort. I know AOL claims to be pretty protective these days, but I doubt they're foolproof.

use firefox http://getfirefox.com BTW, there is no popups for this site. I hate them. The only popups are when you get a new PM. I think thats it though.

Its not even like a its just like IE is trying to open up 42 of the same pages at once and its only when im on THIS site i have no idea why and i cant explain the concept of "if we get cable we wont need aol at all well just need aim and a web browser" but she cant get paste of the idea that aol connects u. so im stuck with a crappy ISP and dialup =\
