I keep getting tons of pop up ads...this just started happening a few days ago. The first page that always comes up is advnt05.com Does anyone know how to fix this and make it stop happening? It's very annoying and I don't know why it started like this all of a sudden.

Thanks

hi laura,
download and install adaware, spybot, spywareblaster get the latest defs and scan your machine, also get your latest anti-virus defs go into safe mode and scan your computer from there, while there clean out your temp internet files, temp files, cookie directory, history file, also do a scan disk to free up your swap file, and defrag your computer.
all the best,
murve
