I've been getting a lot of IE pop-ups and pop-unders recently. I don't exactly know what's been causing it. Also, I seem to have problems with Disk Space. It fluxuates sometimes without me even doing anything. And it seems to me that there is not enough stuff on my PC to be taking up more than 90% of my 60 Gig HD.
Please help!
