I have looked round the net and there seem some very complicated ways of getting rid of it. There also seem to be some sites which say they can get rid of it but considering the reports of how hard it is to remove I have my doubts. Can something like Norton or McAffee help.
I am useing Vista and AVG anti virus.
Any thoughts anyone?

Something I have noticed. I get the pop up on my machine when I look at the site for the first time. If I close the pop up and refresh it does not appear. If I clear my cashe it will pop up again on a refresh.
Just another thought. I am not sure if this is strictly a pop up. My IE would warn me of a pop up but this appears as a seperate window without any protection from IE7
As I have said before. I do think it is a combination of my site and something on my machine as I do not think anyone else would get the problem, although it would be nice to see this confirmed.

I looked at the adds and it had a telephone number on them which I called. It is a company which sells mobile download ring tones. I asked to be put to the department which deals with malicious software being downloaded. I was told that it is all legitimate and web sites carry automatic generateing adds. I became insistant and said that it was my own site which was carrying these adds and the assistant immediately suggested I was using webstats on my site. Some time ago I used netstat which was fine. I remeber some time back I was informed that the company had been bought out or something but all would be fine.
I have now removed the counter from my site. All seems OK.
