hello guys,
ok i've got a small prob with my internet explorer. occasionally, when I opens up my interent explorer, there'll be another pop-up, something about an online casino. Problem is, this pop-up ad isn't from the page that i visits, but its sort of configured to pop up ocasionally. This pop-up comes occasionally, no matter what site I visit, be it yahoo, microsoft, etc.

My question is, is there any way to get rid of this pesky popup ad? Maybe edit some key in the registry? Thanks.

Download, Install, and Run "Ad-Aware", and "Spybot-Search and Destroy." These programs are spyware removal utilities, and many times will fix problems like what you're describing.

There's probably a cookie on your machine that tells the server it came from when to deliver the popup (e.g. at certain intervals). So yeah, you'll need to rid your machine of <A HREF="http://www.spywareinfo.com/" target="_new">spyware</A>, if they're evident.

Websites:
<A HREF="http://www.spybot.info/" target="_new">Spybot Search & Destroy</A>
<A HREF="http://www.lavasoftusa.com/" target="_new">Ad-Aware</A>

Consider Mozilla Firebird, an alternative browser that's feature rich...very competitive to IE (not to mention vastly superior, IMO).
