Why do I get these for one? I have the highest level of security and a pop-up blocker and still get them.
I never get anything Interesting either.
I want to e mail these sites and tell them that NO... I do not want 'Red Hot males' or 'Girl on Girl on Girl action', or 'Dating for Hot females', or 'Make my man bigger in the trouser department'.
It's a brand new lap top so it doesn't have a history.
Who else gets this crap?

Sounds like you've encountered some adware.
If you don't have Adaware or Spybot, download one or both, and use them to get rid of adware.
I use Adaware, and I stopped using Internet Explorer a few years ago in favour of Opera. I don't get pop-ups or adware since I switched.
