It's found by ==> Control Panel > Security Centre > internet Options > Privacy Tab > check the box at the bottom (says "turn on pop-up blocker")
Jump to PostAlso try running Lavasoft's Adaware. That should get any adware that causes that sort of thing.

run scans disconnected from the net, and in safe mode if possible (hit f8 {i think} on boot and select safe mode. norton won't work but others should)
