Are you still using IE? Try switching to Mozilla Firefox if so, far fewer popups with that, if any at all...

Yeah, it's a good prog that AVG...
Firefox is another internet browser. Unlike IE, people dont attack it, as it's not Microsoft. IIRC, it was developed for Linux O/S, the source code was made available to anyone really, so people don't see it as a hacking target. As a result, you don't get bombarded with Spyware etc.
