Rumba WinME - 19 Oct 2004 21:21 GMT

Pop-ups take over when I go into IE. Running WinME.
Norton indicates no virus. When I try to install updates
from MS, I get "cannot install updates, missing
components."

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

You're system is infested with spy|ad|malware. Advise you to follow
the steps laid out here : The Parasite Fight - Quick Fix Protocol
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm

Once the crudware has been removed from the system, boot to Safe
Mode and utilize the Repair Tool for IE :
