How do you get rid of Internet Explorer windows popping up ?

I use Mozilla Firefox as my main web browser , but every time i use it Internet EXplorer windows would pop up with annoying advertisements such as the mobile phone . The thing is i've researched and i've run several virus scans and spyware scans .

I have one antivirus - NOD32 and two anti-spyware programs - Super AntiSpyware and Avg Anti Spyware.

I ran Avg Antispyware and detected a file called trojan.hack.vg and hence i quarantined it with the program. Therefore im assuming must be gone.

Other than that both anti-spyware programs have detected tracking cookies, which i would delete anyway... not too sure as they would come up once again every time i ran an anti-spyware scan.

I'm not too sure what to do and I've also just recently reformatted my hard drive not too long ago.

Would anyone be able to figure out why internet explorer windows keep popping up?

Download Yahoo Toolbar for firefox, and use pop-up blocker. Firefox may have one built into it.

First of all delete any files in quaranteen. Secondly firefox has an addon called Adblock plus which should stop any further pop ups. Go to the menu bar in firefox, tools, add ons and search for the pop up add on.
