Can't get pop ups to stop. HELP!
I ran adaware, spybot, updated etc. I have block pop ups checked in windows XP, and also have the google toolbar with block pop ups engaged in it. Any ideas?

Other trusted applications (both have free trials – uninstall after cleanup if don’t want to pay…):
Spy Sweeper:

CounterSpy:

========================================================
Use an alternative browser – FireFox, Mozilla, Opera.

Go to start--Run Type in "services.msc" (without quotes)
Scroll down and look for messenger. Double click, disable, click OK.
Also Click "Stop this service".
messenger service is NOT MSN Messenger.
