You need to ascertain if its a separate program running in memory or a rogue IE plugin. Try using a different browser. I would suggest Firefox with the Ad Block Plus plugin.

VIRGIN MEDIA SECURITY
malwarebytes antimalware NOT THE PAID FOR ONE So you're using old and crappy software. Ditch IE8 asap and get a real browser, as rhoobarb suggested get Firefox. If you can upgrade to Win7 (xp isn't even supported by M$ anymore..) do so. Virgin Media Security is not a viable antivirus. Switch to a free one ASAP that'll do a better job while using less resources. MSE or Avira/Avast, any of those 3 works. Can't go wrong with malwarebytes, don't pay for it ever. It's unnecessary. Are you running the scan from safe mode?
