I am running WXP with IE6. How can I block a particular web site (adsandads.com) which repeatedly opens windows when I am on line. The site seems to be trying to sell me online ads.

It may be spyware problem.
You must need to scan your computer with good anti spyware software.

You can scan your computer with Malwarebytes. Restart the computer and press F8 and select Safe Mode with Networking.

consider implementing a anti-ad/spyware hosts file. Google hosts file for links. This would be in addition to the above recommendations.

Thanks for the responses. I have already run the latest updates of CounterSpy and SuperAntiSpyware without them finding anything. I just want to block connection to this one site.
