This could be as previously stated MSN messenger and it can also be windows updates.
To turn off windows updates for XP select Start, settings then Control panel, In the XP control panel select the Automatic Updates Icon. When opened select Turn off Automatic Updates.

Get adaware and run a check on your machine. Then use the pop up blocker that comes with IE 6 sp 2 or IE 7..

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
download firefox for free, Just have a try:

Get the google toolbar, in addition of giving you a lot of convenience, it protects you from popups

You need a better security system. I have Norton and I have NO popups.
