    IE 6 Adult Sites auto pop up
    Dear Colleagues

    Comming back from my vacations I found out that someone in my office had used my email address in order to registered to some adult content sites. So the first day bcak in my work PC I realised that my email was bombarded with adult content invitations and links. I think I know how to block these emails, but the problem that I have solved yet is to avoid IE poping up with adult site advertising. This is happening every day, a few times during the day without my IE 6 to be running.
    Obviously there is a program somewhere which activates my IE.
    Cookie deletion did not solve this problem.
    For your information I am using Windows 2000 Pro, and IE 6, Netscape Navigator etc. My default browser is IE.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi PanDel
    The first thing I'd suggest would be to download and run ad-aware. Let it clean out any spyware it finds. Post back if this still occurs.
