Hello.

Today , while using Internet Explorer, I accidentally clicked on a popup, and the trouble began.

New tabs keep appearing while I'm using Internet Explorer, attempting the load the following website, which does not load. While this does not affect the system much, its extremely annoying.

http://83.149.115.142/index.php?cmp=ghrnc&uid=CE98AEF2015811DD8D54152174CFFFFF&guid=4372EB1EBE454D0499FE27CFA6251EF1&affid=152174&lid=http

This does not affect Firefox, which is what I'm using at the moment.

Sypbot S & D, as well as Adaware scans have found nothing, leading me to conclude this may not be an ad/spyware. However, my symantec Anitvirus has not detected anything either, and I have no idea what this is.

Spybot and Ad-Aware are obviously useless, so I'll appreciate if someone could offer their assistance.

If my description was not clear enough, the above 2 ppl are in the same situation.
