While SP2 seems to catch a majority of pop-ups, I still get them.
Even with the popup blocker set to High.

Hi Dan 
any pop-up blocker.
You may have one of these on your system causing this problem. In addition
to running your updated anti-virus program, you should do the following to
be sure none of these are present on your system. Some variants of malware
can replicate themselves over and over if not removed properly. Follow all
instructions carefully to be sure your system is thoroughly cleaned:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

There are some parasites, malware, adware and other warez that can override
any pop-up blocker.

Great news... it's all working now... NO POPUPS ALL DAY LONG !!!
HURRAY !!! First time in years !!!
I bought ad-aware SE plus, and it, in combination with XP-SP2, really
do the trick. Also running Norton 2005 (just updated this weekend),
so there's a combination effect I suppose.
Ad-aware found dozens of malware thingies, cleaned them up, it is all
singing, all dancing now.
Ad-aware looks like it even blocks javascript popups, so I think we
are going to use the pop-up blocker that comes with SP2, which seems
more forgiving (or less strict at any rate.)
Thanks Jan for some really good ideas!
