First, acquire a good PopUp blocker. That should solve problems with your
web browser. I notice that Google is offering a free one, but I'm not sure
how good it works. Shouldn't be hard to fine a hundred of these.
Second, disable the Windows Messenger service. This has nothing to do with
MS Messenger, but MS Messenger exploits the service to pop up annoying
messages. Go to Start, Setting, Control Panel, Administrative Tools and run
the Services applet. Select a "Startup Type" of Disabled or Manual. Also
Stop the service.
Also, if you want to get rid of that ever-present MS Messenger in your task
bar, go to Start, Run, then type "MSCONFIG" and press Enter. Take a look at
the "Startup" tab and de-select the appropriate one(s). Be careful not to
disable your anti-virus software and other important stuff that should
launch on each boot.
Good luck.
