When am online browsing i have a webpage popping up out of nowhere every 5-10mins. Any idea how to stop it? I run some spyware tools in safe mode and they report my machine as 100% clean. What else can be done? Thanks
 
I'd say if it's 5-10 minutes then that is definately a spyware issue. The fact that it has already infected your system is a possibility why some spyware programs pick it up. Just try another one I guess or try and google the symptoms (inlcuding the website that the advert links to) and see if there are manual fixes.

for peace of mind i would get a decent AV such as NOD32 /Kaspersky ..etc....do a safe mode scan .....failing that (if money is tight) ...reinstall your OS inc updated patches ...for all your software ....stay away from dodgy links/sites.....if you have kids see the above posts on blocking certain site.....gl
