I'm using WinXP with Office XP and recently i'm not sure what have I done to my PC, an unwanted advertisement always pop-up not only when i run IE 6.0, but also will appear when i close all the programs and leave the PC like that. It happen severalminutes once. I wonder how can i remove the pop-up advertisement? I've installed quite a number of programs recently, but i'm not very sure which one cause this happen. I would like to know is there a way to remove this?

I use pop up buster which I got from the CNET download site - it's free. You can turn it on and off, and when you want to launch a window or allow a popup then you just hit the space bar. It's really nice to have. hope this helps.
I tried pop up stopper, but I didn't like it because I thought it was too agressive in stopping popups, it depends on what your need is.
I'm really glad, because the popups now are almost entirely casinos, provocative, x-10, or some other junk. Mostly offensive.
