you need to determine if the popups are comming via your windows messenger
or whjen you are browsing. If from messenger, then you need a better
firewall to block ports 135-137-139. There are a ton of prior posts in this
newsgroup about doing this. Easiest way, if you are on a cable/dsl internet
connection, is to get an inexpensive cable/dsl router box - like Linksys. Or
if trunning XP, look into enabling the XP intenret firewall software.
