Hi chuck, hi everyone,

Do you mean popups containing ad keep opening?... if this is your case, then you have a "spyware"!

You can get rid of this malware downloading, installing and running SpyBot Search and Destroy (free & wonderful utility)

Good luck!

Have a good day,

1.Emergency Treatment for the symptom . If you have a Keyboard with Windows key

Press Win key + M


2. Definitive treatment for cure:

As Frenchie recommended , the cause has to be treated for radical cure. The cause Spyware/malware.

1. SpyBot S&D

2. Ad-aware 6.0

Hi chuck, MaadhuriMN, hi everyone,

MaadhuriMN, thanks to complete!

To [Windows]-[M], I prefer [Windows]-[D] (after "Desktop") that can be used to toggle b/w putting windows down to the taskbar as well as re-open them!
(of course, not applicable to the present case). I write them for people who don't know about that handful shortcut!

Have a good day,
