I log in to my account in my blogger account using Microsoft Internet explorer as my browser. I am annoy of many pop ups and ads in another window is always opening. It really hampers my productivity. What seem is the problem? Then, I scan my computer system with spyware software and look what they find? Adware.websearch is from a search engine whom I list my blog url. I do not really remember that i install any code. Maybe, the search engine does? Have you ever experience this my fellow blogger in your own blogs? What did you do to keep your blog back to normal?

This is why I refuse to use Internet Explorer. It's ridiculously vulnerable to all of the adware, malware, and nasty viruses. Mozilla Firefox is sooo much better; I just wish my mom were able to use Mozilla instead of IE. One day, I suppose...

I realize it too late and not sooner. Internet Explorer have many loop holes and can easily be infiltrated by trojan, worms, and spywares. I also observe when I used Mozilla Firefox when searching is fast and I can download faster. Also, it never stored a lot of cookies or record of internet history.

That's odd. I think you'd better contact blogger and ask them what the problem could be before more people get infected.
