Everytime I log on AOL&IE a popup comes up and want personal info. How do I get rid of it. No program finds it

No spyware or Anti Virsus finds it. It can't be moved from the screen. Used to be Cntrl-Alt-Del was the only way to get rid of it. It's called AOLJPGPICTURE.EXE in the Task Manger. Now the task manganer seems to have been disabled. I've tried re-copying taskmanger to the PC from another PC I have and right infront of your eyes it changes from 126 bytes to 1 byte. HELP!!!

    hi, there are some virus with your IE browser. and the virus hack your IE to popup annoying ads.

    i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.

    besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

    firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

    download firefox for free:
