Everytime I get on the internet, I don't have to click anything before I am attacked with pop ups.

Also, when I browse webpages, certain words are underlined and it annoys the crap out of me.

Does anyone know anything that could help me?

Also, don't recommend Spybot, it doesnt work well enough for me.

Yeah Spybot sucks, I have to change to another one.

try ad-aware :)
Or a program called " The Cleaner" ( www.moosoft.com)
Both work well for me!

Yep. Ad-aware is what I use and it does a pretty good job.

To make web addresses go to the page they are supposed to again,

go to start > run

type "cmd" and press enter

type "IPCONFIG /Flush DNS"

might not be a space in between flush and DNS though.

i'd run a search for spyware first though or that might just get reset back to the thing you dont want.
