That's it. It was WinFixer. Trouble maker for sure!! Removed things I wanted too. I now use Firefox browser because some of the Security updates for Explorer prevented me from downloading or using anything with Flash or Active X. I need those so changed. I couldn't even see the cute e-cards I used to be able to see. I was considering buying a new computer. Problem was just the browser. No problems with that now. My school recommended it for their distance classes too. I get no pop ups at all since I started using the trial, free version of Ad-Subtract. Tattoo
