Every time I log on, I get a pop up saying "do you want to reconnect" this is a smut channel. And I dont want any of this.

I am running Windows XP PRo, and my system is upto date.
Please help as this is getting on my nerves.

Try one of the spyware elimination programs. I use Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware is another popular one. They are free to download from the net.

You might also look at simple firewalls - I use Zone Alarm, again its free and easy to use.
