Download Google toolbar mate, it basically sits on your toolbar in your browser and it stops popups and does other things aswell like searching etc so you dont have to load up a website to search for stuff http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_toolbar/

he was speaking about popups that suddenly began to appear everywhere, it seems. So it has nothing to do with a browser's anti popup function (which IE 6 SP2 has been having for a long time, btw ) but it's more like a spyware on his machine, so changing browsers won't help at all
As i said, do a spyware check with the link i gave above
