Nasty IE.direct popups (sometimes more than 20..)

[snowcold]

New laptop.
XP home edition OS.
No software installed since I picked it up.

I left my internet open last night and this morning there were over 20 popups, all with ie.direct on the header...

I've been looking at the

and others but I was curious if there was something
more specific for this type of popup or would any/all spyware programs be a good starting point.


Thanks!
