You have a problem with pop ups so you want to uninstall SP2. Why don't
you just take a sledge hammer to it, that will work too. What kind of
pop ups? Some can be initiated by spyware on your system, not coming
from the web and IE's pop up blocker won't catch that. Have you done a
thorough scan for malware using a combination of anti-spyware programs?

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.
