Avast Fixed Virus but still Have Pop Ups

[lusterglo]

Avast dude came on and fixed my computer. Awesome. SO happy.  but I now have annoying pop ups that Avast doesn't seem to find. It started when i accidentally downloaded the NEW internet explorer on myspace. i didnt know it had anything to do with myspace, but it was on that day that i started getting pop ups that arent necessarily bad, just annoying. Telling me to buy something that is related to the site i am on. How it knows I do not know. Anyway, i deleted that myspace internet explorer to my knowledge and uploaded one from the microsoft website, version 7. The pop ups could be infecting my computer somehow and I do not know. I run avast daily and it doesn't seem to locate the problem. Thanks!!!

I'm sure one of the guru's will jump in here but, if memory serves pop-up blocking is not a function of Avast!...

You need to block pop-ups within your browser...  Firefox comes with it...  Can't address IE as I void it like the plague...

There could be an add-on to IE for pop-up blocking though I know that the Google Toolbar has such a function and I believe the Yahoo! Toolbar does also.

What Omid Farhang suggested is a good first step...

In IE -

Tools > Manage Addons > Enable or Disable Addons

If there's anything listed there with a name consisting of random letters, it could be a clue to malware. For a quick fix you can try disabling them and restarting IE but you will need to remove them using the afore mentioned applications.
