If you have Pop-up Stopper and they are still comming and you're using an
NT based O/S, then it maybe be comming through the Messenger Service on the
NT based O/S, which can be disabled. I use Pop Stopper (free one) and
Messenger Service disabled which has worked so far. There are no POP-Ups

You dont need to buy any software. If you look at the top bar, it says
Messenger Service.(not MSN Messenger)
This is a service built into XP and used on a network. You need to disable
the Windows Messenger Service

Here are some steps:
Here's how to disable the Windows Messenger service in XP, Right-click My
Computer and choose Manage. Go to Services and Apps and select Services.
Find Messenger on the list and right-click it. Go to Properties and change
Automatic to Disable to stop the service. Hit OK. Be very careful not to
touch anything else in there. You could damage your operating system beyond
repair.
Reboot your system to activate changes.

This should stop this type of window popup. A Popup stopper will stop
'browser' window ads

POW! is a good useful utility, as mentioned.This stops the popup sda.
