I have found that that works for me too...

But, if you don't think that will work for you then just use your FireFox and throw your IE out the window.

Are you getting popups only IE is open, or do you also get IE popups when the program isn't even running?

I get IE popups sometimes too while using Firefox. It depends on what sites you go to.

Cant you check and see if some malware put it into your boot-up log?
