Try to use another way to dial in (other program). Perhaps the pop-ups are caused by the ISP-client / another client can stop the pop-ups. |

Pop-up blockers are not the key. Do they come back after you reboot? If so, are you using ad-aware (detects EVERYTHING)? Do you use any P2P or similar program? Whatever it is, it still uses memory, HD space, and ur blockers probably spy-ware. Wow I'm uplifting. |

My pop up blocker blocked 360 pop ups (!!!) in 5 days. I think that's good.
Yes, i have ad-aware, but afetr running it 3 times, the pop ups still appear.
Yes, i use a p2p prog, KAZAA.
You know when this started? When I, being a total dumbass, clicked on a pop up that pop uped while using kazaa, that claimed that "if you download these great prank phone calls and you DONT laugh, you're not human!". The pranks turned out to be REALLY lame and cheap, and that's how i became the king of internet Dumbasses. |

Spybot is another great spyware remover. Also, make sure your Messenger Service is turned off (not MSN or that Messenger thing, but a Service). |

Wouldn't say you are a dumbass, but I will say you weren't thinking when you used Kazaa. Kazaalite has no ad/spy-ware. |
