I have started getting full page pop-ups although the microsoft pop-up blocker is on. Also below:?

I keep getting an error from 'Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime library' advising 'buffer overrun detected!'. Program: C:\windows\explorer\explore.exe.

'A buffer overrun error has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be now terminated'.

Please, please can anybody suggest an easy solution. I do not currently have any anti-virus software installed, except for windows firewall. NB my pc hdoes not crash after this error but sometimes websites shut down automatically. I have repeatedly run Spyware Doctor and removed ay infections detected but this has not solved the problem.

Thank you.

it doesn't sounds like pop-ups, it sounds like real error messages from Windows OS or some software you use. If you hadn't installed new programs recently, i suggest you still re-install operating system.
