do you have broadband. or at least connected to the internet when the popups appear?

and if you dont want the google toolbar (its basically google right there in your browser where you are) you could look here for some free pop-up blockers and free trial versions aswell:D

i would recommend google pop up blocker to anyone, its the best pop up blocker AND it has a google search bar that you type stuff in and it takes you to google and shows you the results (very handy)

there are a number of things in the log that need fixing ,but i have to go to work now ,will get time later to help you with it .

Also don't run hijack from the zip unzip to its own folder so it will be able to make backups
C:\unzipped\hijackthis[1]\HijackThis.exe

soulseek is a filesharing program just like kazaa

WIN MX is the best no add P2P check it out... and of course get spy bot - search and destroy... to get ride of all the ads and spyware you downloaded and will download in the future. and if you have an open connection to the internet get a firewall i use Zone Alarm only couse its free im all about free... and GET RIDE OF KAZAA in the long run your slowly killing your computer take it from one who used Kazaa to send trojans etc. ...

WIN MX is the best no add P2P check it out...

i tried win mx figuring i couldnt comment until i did. and i promptly unnistalled its poorly laid out!! besides trojans and the like can be sent in ANY file its tw*ts who send for malicious reasons to ruin the experience for other people and exploit peoples knowledge of internet security. after all trial and error is how most people learn and unfortunately we soon learn about internet security!!?
kazaa lite resurrection has a filter to filter "suspicious" folders as do all kazaa lite programs and no spyware/adware and no ads to me its the best filesharing program and i have tried a few:D

no hard feelings
just my 2 pence

thats kewl the plus with kazaa is more users too

Meaya POP UP BLOCKER WORKS GREAT.

Something a lot of people are confusing are pop-ups and adds.

Pop-ups are just that.... but some sites have payed for advertisments that no add blocker will stop.

ALSO to stop msn messenger pop ups go into c:\ programs\messenger then find the .dll file named msgsc.dll.
Now change the name of the file (right click) then call it msgsc.bak.

Make a backup copy of the file and store it somewhere (before you rename it) incase of an error.

PS. always ..always ...always! do a backup before changing any settings in XP.
