hi i have just upgraded the new internet explorer 8 from microsoft but i think i should of waited.you see i had ie7 for the time it was out until recently and i had no problem with it.now i downloaded ie8 and all of a sudden i'm getting pop ups i never got before.i have avg, zone alarm, spy bot and adaware on my pc for quite some time now.they are all updated but i still get pop ups coming through when i use ie8.also it is way too slow to upload and this is not acceptable.i think i will have to downgrade to ie7 as this is not working for me.firefox is a lot quicker and reliable at the moment.you have infected my pc with something i cannot find as i run all antivirus scans everyday now and nothing comes up.i never used to do this and it is frustrating.if you could help i would be most pleased.i have original windows xp home edition which i had with the pc.i will not go to vista as it still has flaws in the operating system.i refuse to leave xp as it has been great for me.thankyou and i await your email
