Hi,
I have this problem whereby everytime i open IE5 these windows open up on top of IE5, these windows are like banners, but they are big spares, and they are not within the window that i have opened, also there is this toolbar that sits just underneath IE5 toolbar at the top. I dont know if this makes any sense or not, but, the problem is, that i cant give you anymore information, as i dont know why it is there, or how it got there. But if there is anyone who knows anything about this, then can you please help me to get rid of it.
Actually there is one other thing. I have sysopt as my homepage thing, so that it is the first site that opens up when i open IE5. I typed www.sysopt.com (http://www.sysopt.com) when i set it, but it keeps on changing itself to http://www.gohip.com/browser/?pid=AAAAAAAAAAAAGU&ence=&pnce=&sid=E312B03EC00144939A20DF1233D3D394&cat=0&v=23&co=&hp=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2esysopt%2ecom%2f how can this happen, and more importantly, how can it be changed. i have tried to set active scripting to DISABLE, but it does nothing to fix the problem with the windows that appear.

I saw this happening on a computer a work just the other day. That gohip address would be constantly opening itself and filling the screen with rubbish, ads and stuff. Wasn't my computer so i didn't worry about it. Seeing as it is your machine i can see how annoying it would be.
I'm sorry i don't have a solution but i am just sympathising! have you been to any dodgy sites or downloaded anything dodgy which might be trying to take over things.
