The alerts are probably important. Is it blocking access to the same thing every time? What is it blocking?

I used to use MSN and they supplied Spy Sweeper for free. Probably one of the reasons it gets such high marks is that when it begins to run it is difficult to shut off, even when you're doing something more important on the web. It is a resource hog and has a pompous attitude. I deleted it, even though it was free, and got Adaware SE.

a problem!
hi there...

for one month I'm experiencing a problem.. which is, when I try to open an Internet Explorer, in my all attempts every time, a box is appearing where a yellow exclamation mark exists and where it says "a web site wants to open a web content using this program", or something like that because I'm not using the English version.. I do not want to see that box every time I click on Internet Explorer, also I want to open a new tab. If you please help me, I will be very happy..

ps: I'm using Windows Vista.. and I attached the view of that box..
