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!!

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

dowload Yahoo! toolbar @ http://toolbar.yahoo.com it has a good anti-spyware and pop-up blocker. that's what i use and i don't get any pop-up. just scan your PC frequently with the toolbar anti-spyware to clear the spywares on your PC that causes the pop-ups

Did you install a new antispyware? Try disabling any antispyware or pop up blockers you may have. \n\nAlso try another browser. If you have been using IE, try using Enigma browser.

Sounds like you may have a virus or trojan.  Some cause pop ups that say things like that.  GIve your system a good scan with 3 or 4 differnent types.

First, yes it is BS and secod, if you are getting pop ups, this usually means that your PC is infected with adware and you should remove it.These scans will remove adware.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

you seem to have an adware problem, adware can get around even the best pop-up killers, plus a personal firewall will slow that crap down...I don't have that problem on my machine. Get Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper and Spybot on your machine, and run them until nothing comes up on the scans, Windows Defender is an up-and-coming tool that you can download free...Ad Aware and Spybot are also free. Get 'em, run 'em...and clean that puter out.

DON'T DO IT!  It is likely a pop-up ad that is either spyware, or will take you to a spot and tell you to buy this special software to fix a non-existent problem.  These pop-up ads are total rip offs.

Are you using Internet Explorer? (That's what I use so that's the best way I know to explain it.) If so, go under the "Tools" menu and select "Pop-Up Blocker", then pick "Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker". Just remember that you may want to turn it back on later to block unwanted pop-ups!
