    Well is it scanning by now? Might be worth also removing your current anti virus and downloading a new one like this for free http://www.microsoft.com/security/products/mse.aspx

    your computer should be ok when you've done both those things..;)

    What web browser are you using?, does it happen with both internet explorer and firefox? Have you pop up blocker turned on? Does it help?

    I am using Firefox V3.5, I haven't tried with internet explorer yet.

    Pop up blocker is turned on, but this one sneaks through. Even when it pops up, I am told on the same page that another pop up has been blocked, so there are 2 popping up at the same time.

    I have heard that it could be a script, instead of a simple ad. Like when you get those "ads" that emulate your control panel, saying "do you want to installed this program" with "Yes or no" below this. They are small when they pop up, but then expand automatically.

    PS Malware tool still scanning.
