Dump Internet exploder and get Firefox.

Also get Malwarebytes - best anti-spyware around.

I also keep getting mini sites popups!! doing my head in, especially when your in the middle of something and you are interrupted with a blooming pop up.

Have just downloaded Superantispy and will keep you posted as to how it affects things, thanks for the advice. :)

why doesn't IE's pop-up blocker stop the sites? even when the URL is on the 'blocked list'???
