I have followed the instructions in the intro page and have successfully used the following tools:
AdAware
CWShredder
Spybot
Tds
I have also scanned for viruses using my virus program: eTrust EZarmor
and I have also used the follwoing web-based virus scanners:
Panda Scan
and
Trend Micro housecall
I have run all of these applications at least twice, and I have yet to get a clean bill from them all. TDS, EZarmor, AdAware, and Spybit have given clean bills of health... but not after I reboot. Every single one of the programs came up with SOMETHING, and they were usually all different. Needless to say, as a relative novice, I am freaking out!
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million in advance!

I have no idea how to get rid of the problem.
The problem, simply put, is that whenever I am on-line, Internet Explorer windows pop-up spontaneously and direct themselves to one of several advertising websites (I also got Lycos search a couple of times). This happens even when I am not actually using IE at the moment and when I have no IE windows open.
My windows Messenger service is turned off. I am running Windows XP with SP2 installed.
