How can i stop these adverts from popping up every time i use my internet explorer?
I keep getting advertisments poping up all the time when i use my internet explorer, in my icon tray at the bottom of the screen there is an invisable icon. these seem to be tracking cookies, (even though i have adequate internet security). How can i stop these cookies from accessing my computer because it is very annoying when you are in the middle of something and then all of a sudden the writing goes very very tiny and the advert comes up on the top of what you are doing.

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser.
you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar.
firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser.
as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE. download firefox for free, Just have a try:

I guess the only thing you can really do is get a pop up blocker you can sometimes download free ones off the internet. I have a MacBook so I never get pop ups
