Porn appearing on my computer

[Specter1075]

Hey all, I need some internet advice.

Im using IE 6.0 on a university ISP. I dont know how, or why, but I keep getting porn pop ups, which are annoying, but managable. The problem has grown to where my favorites folder is now filled with unwanted garbage, my homepage is changed, and other internet options and messed with. What causes this crap, and how do I stop it?
Thanks

Either you've got a hacker that is messing with your computer, or someone else is using your computer to look at porn and downloading stuff

I can't believe no one said Spybot S&D. That is usually the first anyone says. But yeah, it sounds like you have spyware and adware from all of the jerkin ya do. Also try running hijack this. Google it and you will find it.
