IE 6 randomly opens a popup

[Usalabs1]

Everytime I open IE, it randomly opens another window, I used ad-aware and spybot search and destroy, they found and erased adware on the computer but, IE is still opening random popups,I even have a popup blocker running, but they still get through, is there a way to stop this?

You have likely got a BHO (Browser Help Object) installed. You can normally find these in IE by clicking on View > Toolbars and they will be in here.

You could try the Hijack This software as discussed in

gpalmer711.......Do you know how to read the log file from hijackthis and to inform me of what to eliminate?

Should I paste the file here?
