internet explorer - How to stop spyware/adware popups?




I think my brother got a case of adware on his Windows XP PC, since he gets occasional pop-ups out of nowhere (even when the browser is closed). He ran the various removal apps like AdAware but the popups persist. My normal suggestion is to just reformat, because I do not want to spend many painful hours trying to find and remove the cause... but maybe you have a better idea?


I'm pretty sure they are all IE popups, so maybe can he just disable IE somehow?
