I use version 0.7 and have pop ups disabled, but not adverts themselves.
However, whenever I visit a website with say, banner ads, or ads in the
corners of pages, it asks me to enter a username and password.

I have to click "Cancel", the box goes away, and I am left with the
image-unavailable icon. This is incredibly annoying because I have to
click "Cancel" upto 10 times on some sites (one for each ad)

Internet Explorer has this automatically removed, I used to have the
same problem with that, but in IE I dont get asked, the images are
simply removed.

Now, obviously I have some sort of third party software installed here,
but I do not know what it is! I don't remember installing it - does
anyone have any ideas on how i can stop this annoying feature, because
it forces me to use IE on some sites and I don't want to?

thanks.

"Spybot search and destroy"


When the box comes up again, press "ctrl+alt+del" and see what progs are
running.
If no oddball one shows up, it's most likely a setting you need to change.

Post one of the websites and I'll check it with my IE 6.

What site?

It was in Mozilla, IE, Netscape, FireBird and Opera. And I haven't even
used Opera in months.

I know it doesnt happen to other people, that's how I know there's a
problem

It isn't spyware, latest Adaware picks nothing up.
