1) Make sure your browsers pop up blocker is on. Check at tools - internet options.
2) Don't use IE7 for general web browsing, use Firefox with the Ad Block plug in;
http://www.mozilla.com/ - Firefox web browser.
https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?q=ad+block&type=A&app=firefox - Adblock Plus
Only use IE with sites that won't accept Firefox.
3) Install Spwareblaster and some anti spyware. Run a full scan of your pc with Spybot and Ad-Aware SE Personal. Enable the Teatimer settings with Spybot to protect your browser, and use the Immuniser to block spyware.
You need all these anti spyware programs;

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.
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.

While surfing the internet, many modern browsers have an option to block pop ups make sure thats enable. If you dont have a newer browser installed, or if your current browser is acting up, try installing firefox, www.firefox.com is fast and works on most systems and blocks pop ups. Also you might have spam affecting your computer, a lot of update antivirus programs can handle this, like norton, but if you don't want to buy one of these you can download ad-adware from www.lavasoftusa.com you can get the personal edition for home, is free and when you use it, it helps removes spam from your computer. Hope this helps

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.

It's all about mind over matter. When a pop up comes, focus all of your hatred and willpower to get rid of that popup. The pop up should subside to your might, and shrink away, like so many popped balloons. Because that is just what a pop up is. A baloon. A small thing that's inflated to make itself feel big.
If it's a helium popup they are much harder to get rid of. They will keep returning. For this you need to get five people to gather round your monitor and focus there willpower.
Good luck, and remember, it's all about mind over matter.

On internet explorer go to Tools, and select Pop Up Blocker. This is where it is on IE7 and works really well, and I'd rather not have google or yahoo toolbars which also offer blockers but which can cause problems (as with all extra tollbars)

a sturdy thank you to do away with a super sort of them is by ability of deleting a super sort of the spyware you probally have on your computing device. advert-conscious can locate lots (plus its unfastened). only seek for it on google. additionally, use firefox rather of IE. this would help shrink down on the pop-ups. With the disk drives, attempt reinstalling the drivers or changing them.

Google toolbar will do that very well. Also, go to Start > Run > type in "services.msc" and scroll down to Messenger (has nothing to do with Windows or MSN Messenger) and right-click to open Properties then disable it.
