Blank Internet Explorer Pop Ups?
I have run Spybot, Ad-Aware, AVG, Norton, Spyware Doctor. This problem is still going on very frequently, every time I nouns a page now, 2 blank IE window pop up. About every 1/100 will have some species of ad on it, but nought to the point u can figure out where on earth it is from -.-
I made 2 other questions, both of which did not obtain help that worked. PLEASE, I'm pleading someone, help me >< I've tried uninstalling IE7 already, and that didn't work, also tried doing the dll fix as stated on HP's site. This problem haphazardly started about 6:30 am yesterday, so again, if anyone can sustain, please :(

i would try deleting adjectives cookies Are you sure it is IE poping up, and not an script executed inside the page you're loading within Firefox that renfinales the drawing of a typical IE pop up window along beside it contents?
I ask this because you claimed you unistalled IE, and if you managed to do so, IE wouldn't be nearby to be executed and pop up a window. Even if IE be still alive in your system, and if you don't own a malaware, the only means of access Firefox would pop up an IE window would be if you enjoy a file extension and/or MIME type associated next to the IE application instead of Firefox, such that when Firefox gets such a folder, and being unqualified to open it, it call the application responsible for it, which would be IE.
Look at the file types (In the folders explorer menu: tools, folder option, and in the dialog, pick the tab "report types"). Look for any file extension associated beside IE and change the association to Firefox manually. This should clear Firefox pop up a Firefox window.
