You have what is called a "browser hijacker".  You need separate software to remove these.  Some Spyware apps will work, but most won't. Follow my links below.  For the first link, download "Hijack This". Good luck:

Get a pop-up blocker. I don't get any pop-ups.

The guy that mentioned the adware is probably right. Those types of programs (cutesy cursors, free screen savers) are usually also monitoring your surfing habits and reporting back to an ad server so that they can send you targeted advertisements in addition to the ones you'd normally see on a web site. \n\nYour newer computer is probably more likely to have some sort of adware/spyware blocker on it (Microsoft started including one of its own within the last year or two), and *that* could be blocking the installation... although if that were the case, I would also expect you would see a popup warning message from the adware blocker, so I dunno if that's what's happening or not.\n\nBottom line, though, is your computer is much better off without it. Might I suggest some adware-free smileys?\n\nhttp://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/ascii/smileys.html

I had winfixer before and "VundoFix" program solved the problem.\nDownload Vundofix from atribune.org\nhttp://www.atribune.org/content/view/24/2/\n\nAlso like what the lady said above, run ad-awareSE, plus spybot search and destroy, ewido anti malware. \nRun any antivirus (activescan panda, mcafee freescan) later on.\n\nDon't forget to update your java and windows as well.

Try booting into safe mode and then deleting. If this don't work you have to have a good spyware remover Ad-Aware and spy bot are the best of the free ones. If these don't do the job, then purchase a spyware program. I suggst and use Spy Sweeper from Web Root.

Try this little program. I have been using it for years and you can temporarily disable, enable, or even delete a startup entry. Very easy to install and simple to use. Just be careful what you are doing and always make sure that your system files are backed up first ... an ounce of prevention.\n\nStartup Manager 1.5.2.25 by Brad Stowers\nhttp://www.f2.org/archive/software/startupmgr.html\n\nHere is a good description of its functions:\nhttp://www.cublea.net/software/effess/startman.html\n\n\nHope this helps to solve your problem.

Try these two and see if either does the trick:\n\n1) Look and see if there is an Options Icon on any of the toolbars you do see\n2)From the Tools menu on your browser (whatever you use) see if you can see Pop-up Blocker\n\nYou'll have to investigate a bit from either as I don't know what else you have on your machine.

Please add more details of the problem.  You may need to disable a pop-up blocker or click the link that says something like "if the window doesn't open in 3 minutes, click here"

It was a piece of malware you had installed. Odds are something cleaned it up for you. Go to Tools, Manage Add-ons, and find any reference to it and set it to "disable". Also, Start - Run - msconfig - OK, go to Startup tab, look for anything else in there and uncheck it. When you reboot check the box that comes up and hit OK so you won't see it again.
