Doesn't really matter what it is. Click Start. Click "Run...". Enter "msconfig" (sans the quotes). Click on your "Startup" tab, then "Disable All".
Note that if anything looks like it's associated with an anti-virus program, you may want to recheck the box afterwards, but other than that, you're good to go! Periodically, flush the junkware out like that.

If anything unusual pops up on your computer you could be dealing with spyware on your computer. Another indication would be excessive "search bars" in your Internet Explorer, or your computer slowing down. I would run a spyware program such as AdAware (www.lavasoftusa.com) or do a search for Spybot. After running these, if it finds anything, it could be affecting the pop-ups that you are getting.
In any case, you should always be aware of ANYTHING that you install on your computer, especially if it is free. Read the user agreements of anything you install. If it mentions anything about "third party software", never install it! That is how you get spyware on your computer.
