Hi Nutty Bongo,
It sounds like a trojan, may have infected your computer. These are often used to bombard people with pop up adverts.

Run a comprehensive security check with your anti-virus program.

Regards,
Steve.

hi there folks, help needed please,
for some reason my computer has started to throw me of the internet using the data ex thing, also i have loads of pop ups even though i have a pop up blocker and some of them are rude, then it shuts me down, its done it on here too and wouldn't let me open the page, any advice would be great, try and keep it simple though as jargon gives me goose bumps lol. thanks alot folks
