I don't understand why I have so many popups ALL OF A SUDDEN. I have a firewall, and I have several popup blockers. I once had Smiley central, but I got rid of it because of all the problems. I empty my cache, and do everything I'm supposed to do, but I still have these annoying popups that practically take over my web surfing. Why am I having this problem now, when I never had it before? Never had ONE pop up. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to SAF!

You have popups because you have been infected with spyware/adware.
Download, install, update then run Adaware and Spybot in full scan mode.
Run them one at a time. Make sure they are updated! Let them remove the malware.

You can post a HijackThis log if you want us to make sure everything has been removed.
