Hi mate,

you need to remove the ad-ware from your system, the best one i've used is from trend
hxxp://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/desktop/as/overview.htm

while your there try their online virus scan called housecall

Proxomitron is also pretty good - its highly configurable and can stop popups, adverts, nosey javascripts and a whole host of other nasties

If your using IE6 then the pop-up stopper in that is not bad, most likely you've got an adware/spyware infection. Get your self some tools to clean your machine first, Spybot S & D, Adaware are the tools most peeps use and they're free. You should also be using a firewall, Zone Alarm is good & again free.
Once you've done that, configure your browser to block &/or ask about pop-ups..

PS: As I've just remembered have a read HERE

Have fun
