"I've changed my settings so these windows won't be able to process ActiveX commands
anymore, but I have no idea what I can do to avoid these pop-up windows."
===========
That's what you said, and you wanted to know how to avoid those, right? I had a link
to download Ad-Shield program in my reply.
Also, if you think an ActiveX Control (downloaded program file) has been installed
on your hard drive.....simply go into your downloaded program files and remove any
and all listed.
Goto - C:\windows\downloaded program files
or:
Internet Options - General - View Objects, then right click and choose remove.

Download and install Ad-Aware. This is a program which scans your system for spyware/foistware.
After installing AAW, and before running the program, also download the "Refupdate
Utility". This utility searches for, downloads and automatically installs the latest
AAW reffile (the spyware definitions, so to speak).
Run the refupdate.exe installation file, and once installed, go to Start Menu>Programs,
find the Lavasoft Refupdate entry and run it. Click connect; it will open a connection
to the internet to check and update the current signature file.
When that's completed, run Ad-Aware, have your drives and registry scanned for spyware,
check all found files and reg keys, hit 'backup', then click continue, and have them
all removed.
Ad-Aware 5.83
