1. Pop-ups?
Have you checked for spyware/adware on your machine?

If you are using IE, you might also want to switch to browsers.

3. Have you downloaded the latest Microsoft updates?
It might be simpler to download Mozilla

5. Definitely mozilla
But, load up with Spybot, and AdAware, and Spyware Blaster.

If you don't have them, you'll be shocked at what you'll find on your computer.

7. You DO have anti-virus software on your machine, right?
Updated with the latest dat files?
Otherwise, go to grisoft.com and download the free version of AVG.
Download spybot, and adaware like the other person said, as well.
Also free.
