I've blocked popups but they still keep coming. What can I do?

I continue to get popus through Internet Explorer, which I've removed from my program list. How can I block ALL popups, particularly those that come through IE?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
