without even using the program.? When on the internet i continually getting pop ups coming up through internet explorer even though im using mozilla. internet explorer will open on its own to a pop up. i have up to date internet security and its not picking it up as a virus. what can i do to resolve this?

Yes it's a virus, remove it safely by following the steps here: http://info-fanatic.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-remove-viruses-trojanspyware-and.html
 
Sounds like malware..
These AV`s are all free and good. I prefer AVG, been using it for 3 years with no problem.

You also could use some good anti spyware;

You should also download 1 of these programs to warn you of risky websites.

Guessing that mozilla is set as your default browser. Sounds like spyware. Might want to google what is being popped up if it's an ad and see if anyone else is having the same problem.
