Popup blockers, such as the Yahoo and Google toolbars, will only stop web based popups. They can help somewhat but will do nothing to stop popups on a computer that is badly infected with trojan downloaders that are contacting other computers to download and deliver the pop up ads.
Try a full cleaning and dis-infection routine, if you are getting excessive popups, or are getting popups even when you are offline.
This is the one I use (it will take some time).
1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender
http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/
2. Scan for trojans, adware and spyware and remove (free online scan) with Ewido
http://www.ewido.net/en/
--------------------------------------------------
And after your computer is fully cleaned of spyware I would suggest IE-SPYAD to prevent further problems, if you are using IE browser:
"IE-SPYAD adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers, marketers, and crapware pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer. Once you merge this list of sites and domains into the Registry, the web sites for these companies will not be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets, or scripting to compromise your privacy or your PC while you surf the Net. Nor will they be able to use your browser to push unwanted pop-ups, cookies, or auto-installing programs on your PC."

------------------------------------------------------
And if your popups say "Messenger Service" at the top Title Bar. Read Here:
Older versions of Windows (pre XP-SP2) can get "Messenger Service" popups which are caused by Microsoft leaving the almost never used Messenger Service enabled by default. These type of popups will have the words "Messenger Service" up top in the title bar. This was corrected in Windows XP- Service Pack 2.
Understand that the Windows Messenger Service is completely different from, and not in any way related to, "MSN Messenger", "Windows Live Messenger" "yahoo Messenger", or any other well-known instant messaging system. Therefore, disabling the Windows Messenger service will have no effect upon your use of any other instant messaging applications. They will continue to work without trouble.
To disable this service in older versions of Windows use the free, Shoot The Messenger from:

Good luck.

Try using the Norton Spyware Removal tool in Yahoo! Toolbar and Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org) Both may be able to find your problem. Also there are many good Popup Blockers avaliable. Yahoo Toolbar, Google Toolbar, Live Toolbar all have Popup Blockers I think. I know Yahoo has one for sure. God Bless.

Click the icon between the two search bars above and make sure that the pop up blocker is enabled! Peace!

There's a trick w/IE7 to eliminate this problem. Just right click on the eye at the bottom right and the instructions will appear and assist you in getting rid of the distraction.

If it is spyware, there is no "one" program to detect everything. Different programs can detect different things. I recommend in addition to using ad-aware, try a free program called Dr. Virus. It is pretty good at detecting spyware. You can find at the download section at zdnet.com. Also make sure you internet explorer is updated. You can so this by going to the windows update, in the tools menu.

I don't think that anyone has come up with a Pop-Under Blocker yet. But there are many free Pop-Up Blockers available.

Download the free Yahoo tool bar as it has a pop up stopper and it stops all mine.
I did use popupstopper,com but not any more.
