There are a couple of types of popup.. There is also the Windows style Message box.. If you are not on a network, you can disable the "messenger" service from the Services section..
Hope it helps.

All above are correct... and for a free pop-up stopper, goto google, install their toolbar... new feature includes free pop-up stopper.

Good luck

The most thorough free pop-up blocker is the Mozilla web browser.

Then, check out this Tech Republic discussion thread on blocking pop-ups:

Keep in mind, that there are 2 types of pop-up adds.
Most software packages only block the ones that attempt to open a new browser window.
For the MSN Messenger pop-ups, you need a different solution.
