Some times when I click on item in the pirate bay another browser opens saying "Microsoft security alert, Trojans are sending your credit card and Facebook details Etc." I know this is a fake scam and I have to go into Task manager to end this annoying pop up. What can i do to stop it being able to open in the first place. Am running Windows 7, Norton's Internet Security (fully updated).

Hope someone can help me stop this annoying thing.
