If these are "Messenger" pop-ups, they can be banished by enabling the XP
built-in firewall (which should be done anyway). See HELP & SUPPORT for
easy instructions.

If this is a program that has been inadvertently installed on your PC,
running ADAware may enable its removal. http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Read the instructions, download, install and run the program. The basic
utility is free.

If the pop-ups are site-related - the page that is being visited - then a
pop-up blocker may help. http://google.com Search for "ad blocker".
Or install and use the new-generation NetScape "streamline Navigator only"
browser from http://sillydog.org/narchive. It will selectively block
pop-ups and images, and is much more customizable then I.E. For more...

Very likely you have some ads popup software on your disk. Kazaa does a lot
of that stuff. I use a great registry cleaner called Regcleaner.

as well. Delete any suspicious things from your registry.
