The only websites I have visited are MSN and my bank website since I got the computer. It started doing this the first time I clicked on IE after starting my computer for the first time. I have turned the pop-up blocker. They are not pop ups that are opening, they are actual web pages that are loading each time.
It sounds like you are visiting questionable internet sites as reputable sites do not do this. Have you tried turning on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer (Open Intenret Explorer and click on Tools > Pop-up Blocker).
I'm curious to know - from where or from whom did you purchase this computer? It sounds like it is infected with spyware or malware.

Hi! Thanks for the advice. I purchased my computer brand new from Dell. I thought that it seemed a little wierd that a brand new computer would do this. I think that I will call Dell and tell them and see what they have to say.
