Popup ads not being zapped by OneCare

I have OneCare installed on three computers. I uninstalled all other
antivirus, firewall and antispyware programs when I installed OneCare.
Everything worked fine for a few months, but now all three computers are
getting popup ads sometimes when I am online using Internet Explorer. Isn't
OneCare supposed to be dealing with popup ads? Should I change some OneCare
setting? Should I be downloading something else to run in addition?

Re: Popup ads not being zapped by OneCare

OneCare does not block ads or popups. You should enable the IE pop-up blocker if
that is your browser.
If the popups are due to spyware, then I recommend contacting OneCare support to
see what got past OneCare to infect the machine.
