While my brother was here visiting, he updated my laptop with new IE9.
Ever since then, even if I do not use IE, when I browse internet on Firefox or Chrome, I get stupid pop-ups.
And you guessed it right, the pop-up window is a frigging IE9 window and not the window from the browser I'm in.
I tried switching between Chrome and Firefox and I always get the same result.

I'm getting really frustrated with this bul$hit.

Chadwick:
Uninstall Ie9.
Pick one browser, delete the other one.
Everything will default back to the single program capable of the tasks, after a restart.

Multiple browsers can work, but tying extentions( flash, whatever ) to them can cause grief.
Especially with 3 browsers vying for control.
You also have a virus scanner.
Not really microsoft's fault, aside from they gave you the ability, and your brother messed with it.

Take a breath.

Nobody uses IE anymore. Period.

Uninstall it.

Sounds like a virus?
What virus software are you using and what are the adds for?  Are they of a dubious nature?

Using Norton. Pop-up are about whatever I'm on in other browser. For example, last night I was at my bank's site, I got a pop-up about that bank.

It is just annoying. I hate IE, but I have to have it to check cross browser capability on the web sites we do.
