|||Perhaps you have an older version of Windows (pre XP SP2)? These type of popups often exploit the Messenger Service in your Windows OS, which after XP SP2 is disabled by default.
Do these popups say "Messenger Service" in the title bar at times?
A popup blocker "thingy" will be of no help in this case.
You have 2 choices to end the problem.
1. You can disable and stop Messenger Service by typing "services msc." (without the(""s) into your Run Box and disabling and stopping Messenger Service.
OR
2. You can use the free utility called Shoot The Messenger to automatically disable this unnecessary service.

Please note that Windows Messenger Service is not the same as any Instant Messenger program that you may have on your computer. Disabling it will not cause you to lose any IM functionality that you may have.
Good luck|||Disabling the messenger service will get rid of ONE of Microsoft's Security holes, but there are plenty more which attract 114,000 virii. So, to get RID of malware, just get rid of Microsoft and install a good open source software such as www.kubuntu.org instead.|||If you follow all the following steps it should get rid of your problem and prevent future problems.
