What does it mean when you open your browser (Internet Explorer) and discover that your homepage is now an anti-pop-up pop-up?
I opened Internet Explorer, and a pop-up ad came up. Then my CD-drives opened, and a new window opened saying that "if your CD-Drives opened, you are at risk" or something like that.
Then notepad opened with a notepad message saying "if your notpad opened, you are at risk."
Anyone else had this experience?

I prefer the "Hypnotize women into bed" ones.

Actually, I don't get very many pop-ups since I changed the security on my browser.

Tad, I'd say you've got yourself a virus.

also try Adaware to clean up the crap that might already be on your system

Thanks, yous guys.
I do have Norton and it's firewall. Our DSL modem also has a firewall...
I updated Norton, and no viruses were detected.
If I get another virus, oh well. I'm getting used to having my PC re-formatted.
That's why I save all my important stuff on a disc.

It means you need to stop using internet explorer for one.

Manually change your homepage back, get or update and run adaware or spybot.
