Re: pop-ups I've never seen a pop-up here. 
:p 
What type of stuff are the ones you see for?
Try Avant Browser and see if that helps. www.avantbrowser.com . It's basically IE with a few tweaks, a pop up blocker being the best one. Oh and it's free.
If that doesn't help get a free spyware scanner and run it on your computer. Lots of stuff can sneak on without you ever knowing if your security isn't tight.
I have my cookies set so I'm asked to accept or deny them before they are saved on my computer. A good firewall(ZoneAlarm is decent) will help you keep an eye on things too.

Re: pop-ups Oh yeah, turn that messenger deal off. There was a post in the Lounge about a week or so ago about how to do that.

Re: pop-ups Pop-ups suck -- but there's none coming from here 
Its either the evil that is Microsoft, or some ad-ware that got installed on your machine. Try googling for 'adaware' and run that, see what you find.
