if you are using firefox but are still getting actual IE popups (not firefox ones) then you most likely have spyware.

don't use Norton.

Download this anti-virus software, I did and found a bunch of stuff man.

1) use the tools others posted to get rid of spyware

2) set firefox as your default browser

Anybody who is still having problems with these sorts of things probably hasn't installed XP Service Pack 2. Sure, it could just be spyware, but downloading SP2 is worth a shot.

I suggest you download SP2 as soon as possible if you are running on a XP system.

SP2 helped a bit (quite a bit, actually), but the popups are still there.
