Funny you should mention that. We have a thread going in off topic about some interesting adware.
Allen wrote these articles. There are some good software links in the articles:
gmpservicesinc.com/articles/hijack.asp (http://gmpservicesinc.com/articles/hijack.asp)
and also reporting it
gmpservicesinc.com/articles/report-spyware.asp (http://gmpservicesinc.com/articles/report-spyware.asp)

Maybe I misunderstood.
Sounds like what you need is a pop-up blocker though.
Your ISP should have something.

we've have a firewall to prevent spyware from installing and use google's toolbar pop-up blocker for web-browsing. it's great, no more pop-ups.

Thats exactly what I use, firewall and google.
Works 100% of the time, literally.

it had to do with windows messenger service (different then msn) which the google bar and firewall dont block...
but now that i disabled it with the help of 'ad-aware' problem is solved!!
