I say "beat it" that's the PC I mean

It is more than likely affected by spyware or some other rubbish like that. Spybot and Ad Aware are good, but sometimes a reformat works best. It clears out all the rubbish and gives you a fresh PC

This is very odd. Nothing like this has come up in testing and 1,000's of people use Web Wiz Forums with IE 7 without any such popups.

Does sound like there is something fishy on your PC.

You're PC is infected! Pop ups are often related to Internet Explorer and its proneness to being attacked by all sorts of rubbish
Have you tried Firefox? Or is the problem on firefox?

When using the web wiz forum I type a reply to a post Quite often IE7 menus start to popup interfering with the typing It is only to do with the IE7 menus so I don't think it is spyware Any thoughts?
