If you are using Windows XP you shouldn't be getting many popups.  If so, you should use Windows update to make sure you have all the latest updates to Windows XP.  Check settings in Internet Explorer to make sure pop ups are blocked.  Make sure Windows firewall is not disabled.  Download and install Microsoft's Beta - Defender to kill spyware.  I recommend against using more than one of each type of "anti" software (2 anti-virus, 2 anti-spyware, etc.) at a time as they will work against each other and bog your system down.\n\nBeware of free software, because some of the "free" stuff IS the malware you don't want!

Use Firefox as your web browser. It stops pop-ups and has an extension called "Adblock" to block ads in pages.

Try running something like Spybot or Ad-Aware they are pretty good at removing malicious cookies and other things and they are free

try ad-aware and/or spybot s&d. if that doesn't work, get hijackthis. also, make sure your windows patches are up to date as well as your virus protection.

Depends, if u get it when you're surfing the internet it's a AD dont click it, if it pops up when your on the computer on the taskbar you might  have Spyware/adware Run a virus/spyware scanner

Buy a pop-up blocker like Ad-Aware SE Plus\nor that isn't a good program and you should delete it.\nsomething like iTunes doesn't do that so the chances are that Shareza isn't a good program to be using

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.

just disable the pop up blocker. its usually somewhere in your top menu bars or its down at the bottom of your internet window.

It's obvious. YOU HAVE SPYWARE!! Try ad-aware SE (www.lavasoft.com) or spybot (google for it). It will probably find loads if it loads pop-ups. Pop-up blockers will not work as it's pulling them up while your not even on the internet. My advice though is to STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER. USE MOZILLA FIREFOX!!
