When I first launch IE a pop under appears and when I try to open it the window jumps to the top left corner and I can't see it. The site will close OK but I'm concerned that this may be spyware or some other sinister program. ZA and AVG don't stop it.

This is the site

Anyone know what it is and how I could kill it off?

install, update and run : Spybot
and Ad-Aware

IMO, stop using I.E. as well, move across to firefox, it has a few nicer features (such as tabbed browsing, pop-up blocker), but is also slightly faster to compile pages and run. You can get extensions for everything you want to do as well (for instance I browse the internet never seeing an advert for anything now). It'll also stop a lot of the crap you tend to get automatically installed/offered when using I.E...

The only thing I don't like about it is that when you download a page you have to wait for it to finish before you can click to continue, and sometimes when websites want to open a new window for a link (i.e. when you click on a link in GS) it confuses the pop-up blocker.
