Answer:
do you use any security tools? run both antivirus and antispyware. that's rather a job for anti spyware to do. you can try spybot: http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spybot-search-and-destroy.html

If this pops up, appear even you are not on-line, your system has been infected by adware. you can use spy doctor, or any adware remover. I tried spy doctor for free, it will give you the locations of problems, but will not removed unless you purchased it, then you can removed it manually...

You need to use three programs really, 1. A good Virus protection package such as Norton Anti Virus. 2. The program called "SpyBot" which will get rid of your pop ups. 3. The program called AdAware SE which will get rid of adware hidden within your system. You can download the last two for free off the internet but the first one I mentioned must be purchased! Also turn on your pop up blocker!!
The Mysterious One
Popup blockers, such as the Yahoo and Google toolbars and IE's built-in blocker, will only stop web based popup advertising. They can help somewhat but will do nothing to stop popups on a computer that is badly infected with trojan downloaders that are "phoning home" and contacting other computers to download and deliver the pop up ads. I believe that your computer is badly infected. Try a full cleaning and dis-infection routine, if you are getting excessive popups, or are getting popups even when you are offline. This is the one I use (it will take some time). These are on-line scans, you do not need to uninstall any of your current protections. 1. Scan for virus, worms, dialers, etc. and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/ 2. Scan for trojans, adware and spyware and remove (free online scan) with Ewido http://www.ewido.net/en/

You need popup blocker. Download it or buy it at the computer store.

Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer or any other browser you are using - http://www.getfirefox.com/
Open your internet explorer and click on Tools at the top of the explorer. Then Internet Options. Then Security at the top. Then internet at the top Then you will see a bar which you can select as low or medium or high security level. Windows recommend medium which work well. Otherwise you can always download spyware or something like that, which also have a option which you can choose to block the pop-ups.
