Dear William,

When you say you "receive" pop-ups - would you be referring to the
"Messenger" pop-ups (very instrusive and annoying) rather than to browser
i.e. Internet Explorer pop-ups ? For Messenger pop-ups, the fix is very
simple - in Windows XP,

1. Click on "Start", then "Control Panel", "Performance & Maintenance",
"Administrative Tools", and "Services".

2. This will open up the "Services" window. Scroll down the list of
services until you find "Messenger" and double click on Messenger.

3. In the Messenger Properties window, click on the "General" tab and next
to "Startup Type" select "Disabled". Then, under "Service Status"
click "Stop".

4. Click "OK".

This should stop all Messenger pop-ups.

For the IE pop-ups, there are a number of excellent solutions, on which
I've seen several earlier messages. Cheers -
