<div class="IPBDescription">I keep getting pop ups during map change</div> I keep getting internet explorer pop ups when there is a map change, and i dont even use IE. I've run spybot search and destroy but it still does it. Anyone know another fix?

    You leave AIM open when you play? Lately AIM has been having pop ups too.
    Also run adaware along with spybot. Adaware catches some things that spybot doesnt.

    Also some pop-ups uses the backdoors of old Microsoft Java... They keep appearing after cleaning with spyware removal programs... Uninstalling MS JAVA and using SUN's Java is highly recommended...

    EDIT: after I blocked the known ad cookies via explorer; and uninstalled the MS JAVA, I've never encountered any pop-ups although Im not using a firewall or pop-up killer...
