i went to a site to download software, and every since that download, I have had problems with my computer. My computer is slow on the net, i keep getting pop up ads. so i downloaded spysweeper--didn't fix it. removed that and downloaded spybot--didn't fix it. removed that and downloaded bps spyware remover, and this has not fixed the pop up problem either. now i dont want to use just a pop up stopper because i have not had this problem before, and i just dont want to cover the problem up, i want to remove whatever is causeing the popups, because when my homepage loads, i get an advertisement page to load as well. now, i am running windows xp professional and i had already disabled the thing that stopped messages popping up. also, i checked in regedit and its not ezula, and i dont particularly notice anything different in there, but thats not to say that it is not. but what could be causing these popups all the sudden and how do i remove the problem, not cover it up with something like popup stopper. also, i run norton antivirus 2004, and of course it is up to date.

please help me, its getting very annoying.

I use SpyStopper 3.0
It sits in the system tray and blocks everything on the way in.
I the last 5 weeks since my last re-format it has blocked 4,627 Ads, 2,672 Bugs, 16 worms and loads of cookies.
I absolutely never ever ever get any adverts popping up. Not one, ever. (Am I overdoing this?)
I also regularly use AdAware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster.

two words
Mozilla
Firefox
only the best browser available (with pop up blocking)

Also run adware/spybot/etc every now and then to clean out
