how do I stop all pop ups/ advertisements, they block e-mail screen so I can not se full e-mail?
While in Hotmail, INBOX, trying to read e-mails, advertisements pop up and cover 1/3rd of the e-mail so I can not read all of the message. I can barely see "back to messages". How do I eliminate this problem?

Got tired of fighting it, went to restore system, went back to the first part of the month and have not had a problem since. Maybe I just got lucky. Keep your fingers crossed.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Restoring system only delayed it. Saw answer, and tried MALWARE. So far it is working. In case this doesn't work, any other ideas you my have I would appreciate. Also, do I need to do this again, if so , how often?
