Boom ad pop up

Hey, guys,
im not sure if i should post this here, but its so annoying i have to ask...
this window(ad) pops up randomly, sometimes when i open a new internet explorer, sometimes when i click a link....
i've had max popup blocker, and i've put the address on the restricted site in the "internet options", i got rid of all cookies and internet files, i even tried system restore.... nothing is workin, this thing must be hiding somewhere...
any1 no how to get rid of this thing??? thanks alot

A good place to start is opening task manager and visiting this site:
answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm
It sounds like adware. You may also want to install adaware and spybot search and destroy. I have links to them the front page of my site, or you can find them at http://www.download.com.
Update them after you install them, and run.
Spybot comes an immunization option that you should run to help block this type of program.
