it does it still after you formatted the drive? perhapes its a long shot tho. your sector 0 on your harddrive is infected or writing to. happened to me once. even if you format the drive it will still be there. it probably didnt happen but could have. best bet look in add or remove programs in control panel and see if there are any programs you didnt add. my daughter d/l some stuff and totally fubar her putter. so many ads and pop ups sounds like same thing thats happeing with yours
