Well I use Firefox as I figure most of you guys use, and I get tons of pop-ups from IE as well as adware. I do not use IE but when I ctrl-alt-del it says IEXPLORE is running in 3 or 4 separate instances and tends to take up about 100,000 combined Kb in MemUsage. I have avg for spyware which got rid of some of the ads and spyware and malware, I also have spysweeper and Nod32 as Virus protection. I have no idea why I keep getting these pop-ups and ads but they're annoying as hell...any ideas.
....also I did have something similar to this and I started getting virus notifications which I've gotten 2 of so far and I got a little pop-up balloon in my system tray saying I had this virus, I don't remember the name of it but I had to download some fix, start up in Safe Mode and then run spysweeper and install the fix, then it was fine, but this doesn't seem like the same problem to me since I haven't gotten the popup balloon in my tray and it doesn't have the same system hogging qualities where my CPU usage is constantly 100%...this is definitely different...also would uninstalling IE7 fix the problem?
