I had my first pop-up yesterday, an ad for radioshack. Ran adware 6.0 with the latest support files and other than the usual cookie monsters, it found s spyware registry entry that fiddles with your proxy access. Note that when you remove this registsry entry with adware, you may loose any proxy settings in IE and you might loose http access with IE through a firewall, if that applies to you. So note your proxy settings first, you may have to reset this after adaware removes the bogus registry entry.
