Pop ups

Just today Im my Netzero HOME page is being hijacked and my home page is getting reset to "blank:data" and I see various popups including:

http://vv1.s13.tempx.cc - Windows PC speed test

... spyware detected

would you like to stop all spyware activity in a few minutes.

http://vv1.s13.tempx.cc - Your system is infected - Microsoft Internet Explorer

!!! HAZARD DETECTED !!!

window contains "VIRUS LIST" with KLF highlighted

http://vv1.s13.tempx.cc - Welcome to the System Performance Wizard

OS Check: ... OK

Browsers Check: ... OK

Syware Check: ... WARNING

If you hit any of the "OK" buttons you are taken to "blank:data" webpage with "google-like" search results for Spyware software.

I regularly use SpyBot Search & Destroy, AdAware as well as Panda Antivirus which I just ran for the 3rd time in 24 hours. Each tool found objects to be removed and yet I still get these "possibly legal but" very annoying popups.

Can I get these turned off.

One way you can stop this is by going to

start , setting , control panel , Internet options

In internet properties click Security and where it says

Restricted sites click on Sites.. and add all those such as http://vv1.s13.tempx.cc , http://vv1.s13.tempx.cc ect..

Onces your done go to the general tab and place http.www.msn.com as your Home page

After you are done go to either Yahoo.com or google.com and Download a pop up block bar
