If you are using Windows XP you shouldn't be getting many popups.  If so, you should use Windows update to make sure you have all the latest updates to Windows XP.  Check settings in Internet Explorer to make sure pop ups are blocked.  Make sure Windows firewall is not disabled.  Download and install Microsoft's Beta - Defender to kill spyware.  I recommend against using more than one of each type of "anti" software (2 anti-virus, 2 anti-spyware, etc.) at a time as they will work against each other and bog your system down.\n\nBeware of free software, because some of the "free" stuff IS the malware you don't want!

I would recommend looking for it in add/remove programs... if it is not in there, you should go to www.download.com and download adaware(and/or spyware doctor) to remove any adware that is on your system

Well if it is indeed adware and spyware, your best bet is adware and spyware removal programs. \n\nSpybot is probably the best spyware removal program, as it is free (they work only on donations), quick, and effective most of all. \n\nAd-aware is great for adware, and also has a free version with no BS sewn into it. \n\nBoth of these have saved my butt many, many times. And keep on working for me. The links are in my sources.

your actual problem is not the popups but what is causing them. you need to install a spyware remove (Ad-Aware and Spybot are two free ones I recommend). Those will kill the programs causing the pop ups. Then install Firefox, it will block pop ups that are caused by the sites you visit.

Update your anti-virus software and do a full system scan. If you want to get rid of popups altogether, try downloading Mozilla Firefox. It's also a more secure browser than Internet Explorer.

try an anti spy ware program, run it  and let it delete it if possible... a week ago I had  some darn ad ware that invaded my PC... kept giving me pop ups and redirecting my browser... I tried everything to get rid of it  went searching thru every file etc... some of these   things embed themselves so deeply its almost impossible to remove them !  finally I had to to a total system restore... it was the only thing that worked ... so if all else   fails, save all your files to a disc  or floppy , then  do what I did.... it was worth the time it took to re-install everything... my PC is now clean !!
