How to avoid Popup ads?

Hello,

After I downloaded a screensaver a few weeks ago, I start to have many popup ads whenever I use IE to explore the internet. I suspect there are some background threads on my computer that keep popping ads. But I can't find them and
so I can't wipe out those popup ads
Could anyone tell me how to find those processes popping up ads? What names could they use, etc.?

BTW, if I use firefox, then I don't get those ads. But sometimes I do need IE.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jennifer,

you can install a popup killer to remove your annoying popups.

If the matter is more than that, you can consider donloading adkillers to remove adware completely.

Cheers,
