Random Pop-up's in IE

Question

I have IE installed on my computer, but very rarely use it. I use it only when a website requires it. I am currently using Mozilla. When I'm online I'll randomly get a pop-up from IE for some random website. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If turning IE's pop-up blocker on does not solve the problem, it is likely that you computer is infected with spyware/malware.   Go Here and follow the directions to download and run the analysis tool called HijackThis. Generate a log file, then open it and copy and paste the text of the log file in a message in the HijackThis forum where a HijackThis expert can offer advice on how to fix the problem.   Steve
