When was the last time you visited Windows Update and downloaded the
Critical Updates?
What version of IE are you running?
What are the Security settings in Internet Properties?
Are you running an anti-virus and keeping it up-to-date?

Hey Mart,
If i don't respond for a day or so don't worry, i am still
there :-). Ok, here is the low down. First off, i did
delete that 3d modeling program and it didn't fix the
problem which means i have to re-install it, sigh :-(.
But, there has been some new developments. I don't know i
you knew this but i am 16 years old and am trying to fix
this problem on the family comupter (it is sort of my
responsibility since it started acting up after i
installed the 3d modelling program). Ok, so my dad has a
program called Ad-aware 6.0 which he got from the
internet. This program stops popups which have been a
major problem for us. Well aparently, there are sites
that will put spyware information on the computer (i don't
know if you know what i am talking about, do you?). So,
this Ad-aware program will get rid of the spyware junk.
My dad did this and it fixed the problem. But-the second
he logged back onto the internet it started acting up
again. And even through he has run the program again, the
same problem is now in effect. That alot of info, if you
don't understand, just write and i will try to explain
better.
