pop ups

ok, so when i open internet explorer for the first time when starting the computer, the buttons up the top are large, when i have them small, and theres the links bar, when i have that turned off.
also, three pop ups come up , this being one of them http://nitrous.internetfuel.com/adconsoles/abcsearch/index2.html
even when i close these, and change them to how i want, when i retsart, it does it all over again.
hopes this makes sense :)


EDIT: the search bar that comes up on the side is open.

Your home page might have pop up banners. Or your computer is full of spyware. I woul recomend getting ad-aware 5.62 its free and will take care of spyware. If that doesn't fix it get some software that blocks pop ups.

to get adaware go to http://www.download.com
