sds-qckads.com , anyone know what this is?

Hi, I have a problem and also a question about a specific site.

1) I have been getting windows opening randomly to varied ad pages. Did a netstat and got several, many, hits of sds-qckads.com. Is this what the problem is? What is sds-qckads?

2)I have run CWS shredder, adaware, trend micro anti spyware and none of them have stopped it. Any ideas would be helpful as to how to stop this popupwindows.

Firefox 1.5.0.1
I have avast anti-spyware for the last month since Norton got attacked and used up most of my hard drive space making backups of whatever was attacking it (stopping these popups). I also have AVG going.

3. Firefox has a setting to turn off popup windows.

Mine has it "Tools->Options->Content->Block Popup Windows", a checkbox, which you should make sure is checked.

The site is an ad site, but I know next to nothing about it and don't intend to investigate. If I had to guess, you like to go to some place that uses their services.

4. Thanks. I have that checked and windows open by themselves to ads

it is very annoying. Not only do they open, but they shrink my browser down to various sizes, making it difficult to stop them once they start. I got some nasty virus hijacker a while back, haven't gotten rid of it yet. Thanks for the help.

5. Try checking your Java settings.

Under "Enable Javascript" "Advanced" button.
If that doesn't work I have to assume you have some sort of parasite or something and I'm over my head.
