Popups that won't go away

Ok. I am still having the pop pages. The popup blocker is not working and I have noticed that everytime they pop up a little rectangular box comes up in the right hand side of my screen and it says Ad served by Internetprogram. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of these popups? I have downloaded Adaware and it has not stopped them! Please help! It is driving me crazy! Thanks in advance for any answers!

I am not a computer expert- but it sounds like you have a trojan in your computer system.
and adware is usually a bad thing to be downloading.
I have run across several sneaky little ways for a trojan to get placed into your system.
OK- HOW TO GET RID OF IT??? I BOUGHT NORTON ANTIVIRUS TO GET RID OF A TROJAN THAT SOUNDS SIMILIAR TO WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON- THE NORTON ANTIVIRUS GOT RID OF ALL THE BAD LITTLE THINGS THAT WERE GIVING ME POP UPS AND THAT LITTLE BOX IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE.
good luck- I know how much that stuff can frustrate you.
I learned to never do one of those free system scans- it isn't scanning your system- it is placing worms and trojans INTO your system- then it will offer for you to buy the program to get rid of it- avoid those scams like the plague!!!
norton antivirus should do it- once I had that in my system- a little box would pop up in the lower right hand corner saying it booted something bad out.
good luck.

Oh ok sorry I thought it was regarding this site. I will leave the message for ed anyway. But if it is from your computer you will have to correct your internet settings so that you can block them.
