i have run all the appropriate scans and norton and yahoo say that i'm clean. how do i stop these annoying ads to buy a different program or more protection. they keep telling me that i'm infected with all sorts of different stuff and it is making me nervous and it interupts what i'm doing.

You need to run an anti-adware and/or anti-spyware scan. Maybe you have this as part of your Norton suite. If not, you can get free scanners at http://free.grisoft.com/ .



Also, it might be a good idea to use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Firefox blocks pop-ups by default with an in-built pop-up blocker. http://www.getfirefox.com/ .
If you have run the appropriate scans and nothing is detected, I can only assume that these adds are internet popups. (I admit this is a bit of an assumption, given how much Norton sucks... Wont say anything about Yahoo....) If such is the case, simply understand that these advertisements are no more factual than those worshiping your ''unique banner id'' or offering free x boxes. That being said, you should get a popup blocker.
