Way Too Many Popups/Microsoft Installer?

Hello!
A few of my members have complained to me that they are getting popups on every page they visit, and it's annoying. When are the popups supposed to show up?
Also, some (myself included) have said that when they visit the site, Windows keeps popping up an installer window that tells them to install Microsoft Office 2000. If they do not click on Cancel within a time frame of a second or two, or click on cancel too early or late, or wait for the system to determine that no CD is in the drive, all Internet Explorer windows crash.
Thanks for your help!

Those pop ups may be coming from the "starting point" image you have under your affiliates box.


Edit... I only get them on your site and no where else. Remove that starting point code you have.

Is this only happening on your ProBoards forum?

Its nothing done at proboards side, either you and your members have spyware installed, or you have a feature on your page which you have added in headers/footers causing this
