Re: Persistant Page Popups

I use Firefox 2.0 and have 'allow pop-ups' turned off, also added extensions
ad-blocker and NoScript.

I was also advised to only have 1 anti-virus application running at the one
time.

I use WinXP SP2 with all updates inc IE7

This is an example of what's been happening for weeks:
- Startup
- call Google with IE7 (Firefox 2 responds the same way)
- search for "convert flac to mp3" (I don't need help with that search)
- select www.mymusictools.com & the expected page opens
- 2 other pages also open: www.amaena.com & www.smartaudioconverter.com
- I closed those 2 pages & backed up to Google & www.myshopping.com.au
opened as well as Google.

This is one of many such incidents.

- I was using AVG free anti virus at the time when it first started along
with Zone Alarm.
- I'm now using the trial version of Pc_cillin Internet Security 2007
- I've run Ad-Aware & SpyBot with their latest updates.

I know that I can suppress the page content using the Hosts files, but
that doesn't stop the page itself from trying to open.

How can I stop the unwanted pages from opening, preferably for IE7 & FF2?
