    Alright, so I get on the computer, got to a few sites that I always go to, then I get up popup. Now, I wasnt getting popups yesterday so I knew this was new. Run a virus scan, deleate all the stuff, and get back on the internet. Still getting popups. So I decide to get yahoo toolbar w/ pop-up blocker. I have pop-up blocker on, and now it says it's only blocked one pop-up? Wtf. Help me!

    Your Browser was hijacked, or the popups were adware on your computer explaining why the pop up blocker didn't work.

    Just would like to take this moment to say that opera has some great popup-blocking capabilities. Yes, I'm an opera fanboy :)
