Which of course means Help Me! Anyone know anything about computers and spyware/adware/grayware and what-not? Here's my problem: first thing in the morning, I open up Mozilla Firefox, and it takes a minute or two to load, but when it does, up pops a popup from Internet Explorer. The IE popup commands the active window, and I have to forcefully manuever my way back to my firefox window, and then, without me doing anything, the IE popup just disappears. I've run symantec and spybot - nothing. They are all up-to-date and yet do not detect anything wrong with my system, but this popup thing is driving me crazy. Everytime I take an extended break from mozilla, and then open up mozilla, up pops the IE popup, always advertizing something different. Have any ideas on what I can do????

not sure about this, but that sounds annoying!
personally, i would clear my cache and cookies and do a mozilla firefox update, shutdown, turn back on and try it again.
do you have any toolbars on mozilla or IE? sometimes those toolbars come bundled with popup scripts.
try using IE for a short period and see what that does as far as popups
isolating the problem methodically always helps me....so if you've done all the previous to no avail, try uninstalling an reinstalling firefox....and getting rid of any toolbars if you can.
