    does anyone else get Servedby.Advertising pop-up ads randomly regardless of what sites you browse? What ever is popping them definately lives on my machine. How do you get rid of them? I keep deleting the cookie, but it keeps coming back. The pop-up source is coming from here:

    href=http://servedby.advertising... target=_blank

    any idea?

    search your system for some .exe file or the like or run a system scan with proper virus programs such as Norton Anti-Virus or McAfee for internet-based programs or target your program files.

    thnx jaz, I actually ran SpyBot (which is a free download) that found several things on my machine causing ad pop-ups, but these things just keep coming back. It's insane. I've also made sure my firewall was on and selected, I turned messening off, I give up. Is anyone else here on XP home edition experiencing this?
