I have a problem with popups continually opening when I have my internet browser open. I have tried several things (Ad-aware Avast Dr. web cureit) to remove the problem but it is still occurring. Any help would be appreciated as some of the popups are very graphic and I don't need my young children seeing them.

Read the instructions in my signature about posting a log in the HijackThis forum. Copy/paste or link to this thread to describe the problem, and somebody there can help you with malware removal.
