To prevent these pop-ups in IE6 you need to do 2 things:
1st - Start- run - type services.msc - OK
When services comes up scroll down to messenger turn off service then Right click 
and select disable.
2nd - Get a good fire wall like ZoneAlarm

This will stop nearly all popups you are concerned about.

Good Luck,
