Download a highjacker removal tool from Symantec Security web-site. Or if you are using any antivirus program which is bundlled antispyware with it, update and scan your computer and network with it. You will get rid of it. Pop-ups are very annoying. Make them out soon.

i totally understand what you are going through,po-ups are the biggest annoyance on the internet\n       since installing service pack 2 (update)from microsoft i have not had such a pop-up problem,as it has a good built in blocker\n      you can download the service pack 2 update from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx ,but you must be running a genuine windows xp to install it\n       you can also use the yahoo toolbar which has a very good pop-up-blocker as well as a anti-spy scanner,you can download this from http://uk.toolbar.yahoo.com/.\n        you can use both these blockers together for added security as this is what i do and i rarelly get pop-ups\n        you should also get spy-bot from http://www.safer-networking.org/ ,to make sur you have no spyware that may be causing this problem,as certain spyware creates pop-ups as part of thier program that is installed on your p.c\n     try all of these and i am sure it will eradicate all of the pop-ups you are getting\n          good luck

I would guess that these popups are resulting from some spyware installed on your computer. You should run Adaware to detect and remove any spyware on your system.\n\nDownload Adaware from http://www.lavasoft.com/software/adaware/\nand run it.

Even the best popup blocker will not stop popups that are generated by malware that has infected a computer.\n\nDo all 3 of these:\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
