Maybe you shouldn't use Internet Explorer. At least Mozilla Firefox has a halfway decent popup blocker.

Anyway, you got some good viruses and spyware seeing how you only run AVG free edition.

Either wipe it out or do some extensive cleaning.

Oh and brick, that's probably a virus or spyware causing that.  :P (!

What Ediseye said ^^^  ^^!

Be sure that you're malware-free before suspecting browser cruftiness...

...And if you HAVE TO you can always use the Firefox IE compatibility plug-in!

What is this popup/spyware that you speak of?  I don't get any of that.  :)
