particular pop up comes even when i am not using exporer and just working on

system of this pesky message, i like pop ups when used properly and dont

I have a popup canceller hard wired to my brain/mouse.
I can usually hit the close button before I even know what it is
advertising.

I don't know what OS you are using but the pop-up stopper on Tweak-XP
works well for me.

Tweak-XP is a freebie download - have a Google for it.

Maybe you've got spyware on your 'puter? Try downloading Spybot Search and
Destroy, then running a system check. It's free and IMHO superior to
AdAware.
