Sounds like the usual sneaky ad through an ad server that installs nasty spyware etc to your machine.

First.

1. Goto Start > Run > Regedit and press ok (on vista type regedit in the search box)

2. In Regedit, check the following entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Curr ent Version>Run ((if anything looks suspicious like weird filenames and programs you dont know about then you can try to remove that line)

also

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Curre nt Version>Run also

3. Also use msconfig (in run window or search in vista) and check your startup on this, by going to the last tab when it loads up. If you see anything out of the ordinary here you can disable it from loading.

4. There is a good chance however your Internet Explorer would have been hijacked, so everytime you start IE it will reinfect your machine, if so, you have a couple of options, try some sort of free anti-spyware program there is some out there or reinstall your machine from scratch. Last option is always the 100% way to make sure your clean.

5. Also make sure your always protected with an Anti-Virus program installed.

6. Buy a DVD-Rom to play your GTA:SA, they are cheap.
