Internet Explorer Spam Problem

[Robert00000]

Has anyone heard of a company called ad pepper media?

every time i open up IE i get some spam operated by this site. link to company - http://www.adpepper.com/en/

I dont know how i managed to install it, or which software it came with. I've scanned my system with adaware and have my firewall settings at maximum, but still get this crap each time i start IE.

There are no active X controls or browser plugins it operates from, thats way i'm puzzled.

Any ideas?

The HOSTS file is your friend. (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=107782&st=0)

Just enter the url.
I know it at least has this entry.

adpepper.dk

I'm currently working on a more comprehensive version, but it'll block that kind of crap, and lots of it.

Maybe try Hijackthis (http://s89223352.onlinehome.us/mirror/hjt/)?

Its the e-mail spam thats driving me nut's . I'm using Mozilla, pop ups don't seem as bad when browsing really.

Edit My wife likes IE so we have both installed.

Click on the word "Security" in my sig, download CWShredder, Hijack This, XCleaner, Spybot-S&D, Ad-aware, and a partridge in a pear tree.
