    Don't use a ghey browser

    I've never found Spybot doing that in IE and I'm too lazy to go through the million settings in advanced mode.

    If you wanna stop malicious pop-ups or ones that pop-up automatically without clicking a link update to SP2 (if you're on Windows XP) and ZoneAlarm/(Pro)

    Have you ran any adware scanners mook? Try adaware, bazooka, hijackthis and any others you can find on download.com.

    There is definitley a setting which stops these sort of warnings coming up.

    I'll see if I can find it later!

    Or, you could install XP SP2...which seems to stop a **** load of pop-ups, etc before even Google Toolbar gets a chance to block them!
