Pop-up problem

Mods please move if in wrong forum.

anyway, my problem is that I keep getting popups from my Internet Explorer browser, even though I use Firefox as my default browser. I even configured IE to work on a proxy server that I know is fake (so I know the 'net doesn't work on it), and yet things still keep popping up. so is it within my computer, or something? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Re: Pop-up problem

there is no pop-up blocking setting...

anyway, like i said, i purposely made that browser to be unable to use the internet, so maybe it's from within my system?
