sounds like some spyware has got in your system that adaware and so on cannot detect.

Have you got any dubious looking process names running in the process list?

Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click the processes tab, search for any you are unsure of on google and you will get results explaining what each exe does and if you should be removing it or not.

What is you Internet Browser Ranald?I ask it because some Browsers has a default pp up blocker which maybe by mistake you disable it.

Have a look at this page ➡

http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=srch&qt=pop+up&tg=dl-20

It contains a lot of Pop ups blockers etc.
In past i use to work with Pop Up Blocker 6 and it was working great(there are betters of course).Now i use Maxthon Browser and the default one it offers and im very satisfired.

A choice of the last moment and not the best is to try unistall your Browser(if you are not use the IE)and install it again.You wont loose your favorites list if you worry about it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thats good news.I can understand your doubts.This program did not clean..it just stops since you install it.

Hava a look at this program ➡

http://www.toniarts.com/product_details.php?prod_id=1

Its a safe utilitie which helps clean up your systems registries,cookies,urls,mru list etc.
You just have to e-mail them after installation and they give you the Registration Code.I warranty that it is 100% safe.I use it for a long time without problems.
If you think that you like it feel free to ask me your questions about it. 😉

Do I have to do the "Member Sign-Up" trick? I seem to be going around in circles again, always end up at the same page Unsure

I hope you've been helped my friend. 🙂

Run it and update it at least one time per week as you have to do with your other familiar cleaners.(spybot,adaware etc) 😉
