Hi,
ever since i downloaded 2 dodgy pieces of software (i know i know, my fault!), i've been getting really annoying Pop-ups when surfing in IE7 AND Firefox 2.0.0.4.
A common one is advertising WinAntiVirus2007, which i gather is dodgy anyway. Plus other anti-virus related pop-ups.
I've done a Full scan with Avast, Ad-aware and Spybot, and although they all found lots of stuff, i'm still getting these pop-ups.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Mark
