annoying pop up ad - not online when it happens

[dan]

Hello,

Since installing XP I've been getting these incredibly
annoying pop up ads (from www.endads.com) that pop up
while I'm working in Word, Photoshop or playing games
(like Madden football).

It's bad enough getting pop up ads while you're on the
web, but these bozos really take the cake. The only ad of
this sort that I get is from them, so it seems like
they've created their own annoying problem and are
selling the solution to get rid of it.

I got Ad Aware 6.0 hoping that it would find whatever
hidden file is causing it, but it didn't stop it. Anyone
have any suggestions?
