Pop ups are usually malware on your PC. Use these scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.

Spybot - 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.

Download Yahoo toolbar with the pop up blocker, it's free and works well for me.
Also Yahoo is a trusted source! Ha ha

Use a pop-up blocker, Comes with most anti-virus software. Its not wise to go on the web without anti-virus software.

Reinstall windows and be careful of the sites you visit, and the software you install. Pop ups are mostly known as symptoms of viruses or trojans.

Download Spybot Search & Destroy, install it and update it. Run it and remove ALL of what it finds.

Then go into the Immunize section in Spybot S&D and immunize your system against nasties.
Then grab Firefox and you'll probably never have a spyware problem again...

(Assuming you don't download movies and music using p2p programs like Limewire.)
