**** You need to make sure you have a FIREWALL enabled ****

Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: FIREWALL , and hit enter.
Click on the topic titled "Enable or Disable Internet Connection Firewall".

If you wish to solve your pop-up problems once and for
all, consider purchasing and installing a third-party program
designed to do just that:

Norton Internet Security 2003

This is what I recommend:

Follow this URL: http://www.safer-networking.org/ and
download/install a little program called SpyBot Search and
Destroy. Before running the program...make sure to do an
update. Then run the program. It will find all
the "crap" that has been installed on your computer from
the internet and will allow you to "fix" or remove the
problems.

Hope this helps.
