How do I stop these Random POPUPS!??!?!

[UT-Longhorn]

Ok, this has got to stop. Im currently using that Crazy Browser so that I dont get popups when going to certain websites, but now when im not even online, if i just have my computer on, I get these random PORN popups which i gotta stop. I mean, when its just me here, i can close them, but if i have a chick over, or something like that, and that crap starts popping up, im screwed! Anyone know anything I can do to sweep or clean my computer of old porn stuff, or anything I can use to block those random pop-ups?

thanks

I agree with Gatecrasher, Ad-Aware is a great piece of software for your particular problem, it even checks out your registry for hidden entries by those pesky porn sites.

...just found a little bastid in my start-up directory tonight that was causing me many problems.... check there, as after i got rid of that little file, i don't have to use the pop-up stopper anymore....

Check Start\Programs\Startup. If there is a file in there that you can't account for, delete it. GL
