    First of all…do you use a pop up blocker? if not..do so, that might help.Many toolbars offer popup blocker..yahoo…google ect…. Another solution that might help is go to manage add ons. Do you have windows xp? “manage add ons” will be under “tools” on Explorer bar. I hope that helps!

    Your computer likely has a Smitfraud infection. Any “warnings” are fradulant and a scam.

    The standard tool to remove this pest is SmitfraudFix. The full removal procedure and the free removal tool is here:

    Almost all “general purpose”,”all-in one” spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, or Spybot S & D cannot remove it.

    Good luck.
