This pop-ups are really starting to P me off, there seems to be now way to get rid of them

Obviously they can't be blocked by a Pop-up blocker (I've tried) and I've also removed all of the spyware from my PC.

My mate said it was the temporary Internet files, well, I've deleted all of them and the TEMPS continue and Pop-up every 15 minutes or so :'(

Anyone know a way to get rid of them ... permanently ?

Not forgetting to backup all the stuff you want to keep first, of course.

Delete the windows folder. Right click the recycle bin and click empty, hey presto, formatted.

Nah.
You will need to create a windows start up disc, if you dont already have one..
Shutdown, put the disc in.
Start up, it'll give you a list of options, pick the one that has 'with CD-ROM support'
Now it will load DOS, and now type 'format C:' and press enter (if you want you can quick format to save time by typing 'Format c: \q'
It'll say "warning" etc, continue.
It'll format.

Now, put the windows disc in, type d:\setup.exe and it'll run windows setup.

Magique. If ive missed something, im a mac user, i dont have these problems :P.

If no spyware/antivirus/pop-up blocker can get them, reformat your computer.
