If the pop ups appear when you're online, activate your browsers pop up blocker. Go to tools - internet options - block pop ups.
But if they appear on your pc when you're not connected to the net then you have either spyware or adware on your pc. Run Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE Personal to get rid of them.

http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Also use Microsoft Defender and their online scans.
And these are useful utilities;

Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

Hi Peter. First of all download the latest version of Internet Explore which is free and has an effective 'anti-phising' tool built in. I also have yahoo pop-up blocker, easily found on yahoo.com . Finally, go to www.downloads.com
type in what you want.Some are free, some charge. But all in all, there's plenty which you can do. FYI AGV is not the best anti-virus software anyway! Good luck.

I find that since I installed IE 7.0 that get really very very few pop ups. I use IE7 with WinXP SP2 and AVG Antivirus (Free Edition). It is also important to run an antispyware program at least once a week. I use 2 > Ad-Aware and MS Windows Defender. That will also help minimize pop ups if spyware doens't have the time to create a profile on you. this results in them not nowing what to market to you, hence fewer pop ups

I would forget a pop-up blocker and try getting the malware off your computer.

You may also have some sort of spyware causing this.

I once ate some shrooms and thought my pop tarts were attacking me, so I killed them by shooting them
