46 popups in 5 mins is enough to make one want to delete internet
explorer. -.- as i said i have no idea where they are all coming from
as my roomates use this computer as well. ive run spybot and adaware,
and i still get them, sometimes 15 in a row in less than a minute which
leads to a server is busy message with the switch to or retry options.
it is makin it near impossible for me to use this computer at all.
should i just format? or is there anyway to find programs may be
causing them?
