I downloaded yahoo messanger about a month ago and had no problems but just recently i have been getting all kinds of popups whenever i sign on to it. anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of them.

could stem from adware/malware already on the system,

1. delete temps and history
2. disable system restore
3. Perform an online or file submission scan
4. Download, install, update and scan with ....
a. AdAware SE
b. spybot -Search and Destroy
c. CWShredder
5. Download, install, update and enable all protection with SpywareBlaster to help keep bad ActiveX from installing, and use SpywareGaurd to provide real-time protection against spyware installation

remove all that is found, repeat all steps 1 thru 4 until cleaned. If problem(s) persist, post back to this thread for further suggestion.
and lastly, install and use Firefox for cleaner browsing.
