All great ways to defeat popups. Let us recap for all who visit the forum:
1. disable the Messenger Service
2. Install and use spyawre removal program(s)
 Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware,Spytware Blaster and SpywareGuard.
3. The Google Tolbar works great with IE and Any Mozilla based browser has popup 
control.
WinXP SP2 will include a Popup stopper.
4. with firewall and an up=to-date antivirus. the computer should be as good as possible
