HOW CAN I SET MY COMPUTER SO ONLY THE KEYBOARD, OR THE
MOUSE CAN TAKE IT OUT OF STANDBY? IT NOW COME OUT OF
STANDBY ON ITS OWN, USUALLY WITH A POP-UP AD.
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.

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 a new-generation browser that has pop-up blocking,
such as NetScape "streamline Navigator only" from
http://sillydog.org/narchive
It will selectively block pop-ups and images, and is much more customizable
than I.E. For more...
