thanks everyone.
the security and all related folders are set to default and reset to lowest etc.....

java has been uninstalled reinstalled etc...
both SUN java and Microsoft.

I get absolutely no popups of anykind

kinda nice but i need to disable that.

i will most likely need to format this stupid thing if i can't find the answer.

how can i restore ie to original system file?

is there something i need to run?

i have uninstalled most programs from my computer and it still wont work


SupaStar,
check to see if you have the google toolbar installed
they have added a popup stopper.
