E. MORSE may I suggest a few programs that will assist.
All are free and all will protect you from Ads, Popups and Spyware.
They are:
Free Surfer which will stop
all popups in Internet explorer.
Ad-aware which is really an anti track ware solution.
Spyware Blaster which will protect you from spyware being installed on your computer without your knowing.
These 3
free little gems are indespensible.
Cannot recommend them enough!
Cheers
