Hi,

For the last few days I have been routinely getting pop-ups when starting IE
and during my net session. They are general ads, not the Messenger Service
type. I have SP2 with the IE blocker set to the highest level, and also have
a Google Toolbar blocker as a second line of defense. These blockers were
very effective until about 3 or 4 days ago.

I don't recall downloading any software prior to this. I have Spybot Search
and Destroy and AVG anti-virus software, which I routinely run.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James
