Odd Pop-ups since reinstall of IE / system

[Ed]

Since ive reinstalled W2K with all service packs and IE6
with all service packs ive had these odd pop ups. They
started when i still had IE5 but thru-out the day ive
managed to download all the updates yet they still appear.
Little windows telling me my system is not secure when
online offering to direct me to emands.com or something
bizarre which sounds like that?
any ideas? i can be downloading of MS update sites and
they just pop up.
HELP!!!!!
thanks folks.
