What is Navigation Advisor

[scoobysoo]

All day long, I have had new internet windows opening with random websites - dating, loans, gambling etc but actual full-sized internet pages, not pop-ups. It's driving me nuts!! Every time one opens, a little tab comes up from my taskbar at the bottom saying "Ad provided by Navigation Advisor"

Any ideas? I've looked at my security settings, and my pop up blocker is on, but these don't seem like standard pop ups anyway

you have some spy ware on your system, I believe that navigation advisor can actually be removed in the add remove programs in control panel, how ever even if it can you will probably want to get hold of some anti spy ware software to double check it's gone
