Default PC people please help!!!

Whenever i put on internet explorer i get a pop up which says 'you have won free ringtones'- blah de blah de blah which i just 'x', then i get a warning box flash up saying 'do you want the ringtones or not', at which the only option is 'yes' or 'x', i 'x' it again and then about a minute later a file download thing pops up where the options are save, open and cancel and i choose to cancel, then a minute later the whole thing starts again.

So annoying!

Anybody know how i can get rid of this please before i get really pi**ed off??

Cheers

Arrow

Then install Adaware and SpywareBlaster which will stop this stuff getting on in the first. While you're at it download a firewall such as Sygate Personal and get some AV software if you don't have it already. Avast is very good. Every program mentioned here is free, so there is no excuse.
