Also other boxes pop up warning about terrible viruses and worms that Norton doesn't see. What should I do? I paid for Norton too.

You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Go to: toolbar.yahoo.com
Install Yahoo! toolbar. It has a pop-up blocker included on it. And it's free! This is what I use to block pop-ups. Also, if you install SP (Service Pack) 2, I think (not 100% sure though), it has a pop-up blocker for Internet Explorer. (The second option is only if you have the Microsoft Windows XP program on your computer.)

Use these to remove it. They are both 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.

Go to internet Options "Delete cookies" I think you are getting those cause you went to porn sites in the past and the porn companies traced you with cookies. Also on the same Option page click "Clear internet history" this will delete old pages and maybe get rid of the porn pages by clearing the cache. If nothing else you could reformat your hard drive that would involve losing data you want.

I am not trying to be rude, but maybe you or someone else that has access to your computer is looking at porn therefore completely ruining the whole anti-virus/pop-up blocker deal!? BUT if you go to joke sites such as ebaumsworld that has tacky pictures/videos/jokes then that could be causing it as well!

go to Start, Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, then look for anything that looks like it would be spyware and uninstall it
plus you dont get porn pop-up's unless your downloading or looking at porn, try to stop doing that

Your problem sounds like you could have some virus Spyware. You can download A copy of AOL's Active
Virus Shield. It's based on Kaspersky's Lab Antivirus
Which is one of the top rated killers.
You can download it and watch the walkthrough on
