As of December 21 I have had a tremendous amount of new window pop ups using Firefox 3.0.5.

It started after installing Spybot S&D and running a scan and deleting what it found. I also have McAfee security suite and ran the computer maintenance tools , which removes all caches, cookies, temp files..etc.

I NEVER have these problems, because I stay away from ignorant sites like porn(only trusted porn sites like xtube etc), warez, etc., and I run regular virus scans and spyware scans.

Is there some kind of new spyware that I do not know about. Is there a new spyware removal tool...better than Spybot Search & Destroy?

The popup blocker IS checked in Firefox and no web sites are allowed in the exceptions box.

Any advice, besides stop using the internet?

This is a good windows maintenance type app.

if your popups are advertizing anti-malware software, those can be hard to get rid of.
google the exact text content of the popups and see how others got rid of it.
SWATFAG may have covered it... dunno.
