Sounds like you either have some spyware or popup blockers on your system.

Could you run Hijackthis and post the log onto the forum. (can be found in my signature)

Looks clean , but you can fix these;

Thanks Guy's :
now any other ideas what could be causeing my problem????

Would you be able to download Spy Sweeper and install it... then run and see if it fixes the problem

Have you tried re-setting youre internet settings to default?

Tools/internet options/ then press "default" on the "advanced" tab , "privacy" tab and the "securety" tab.
