Is this happening on IE only ? have you tried firefox or opera for browsing ?

One good trick is to clear your cache and cookies this can be done in IE from tools/options it may be you have a couple of rogue cookies, once you have done this restart your browser, the only downfall to this is password sites, typically like here a cookie is used to store info you may find you have to retype your name and pass in all the sites your a member of unless of course your selective about the cookies you remove.

worst case scenario roll back your pc

this can be done from start/programs/accessories/system tools/system restore, just pick a restore point and roll the pc back to that point pick a restore point prior to your problems starting.

This won't effect any recent work that you have done on your pc, but if the problem is a virus some can install themselves and remain resident in the restore archive so restoring will just reactivate the virus,

If none of the above works I can point you in the direction of a very powerfull peice of software that will find even the deepest embedded mail and adware, but most people need help with it.

I hope that helps

Hope you are sorted now, Polepot.

Regards the CCleaner, besides running the cleaner, you also need to click on 'registry' and then 'scan for issues'.

If you are still struggling then there's nowt else for it....... you'll just have to stay away from those mucky sites ! LOL

Download cwshredder and run that just to make sure that I.E. is OK
