If you have an OS with the "Messenger" Service installed,
disable the service and see what happens to the Pop Ups
when on line.

Go to www.lavasoft.de and get the free version of AdAware
and run that and see what happens to the "offline" Pop Ups.

Then get the free version of ZoneAlarm from Zonelabs.com
