always connected to the internet and without explorer
being up I have pop ups that come up and I dont know how
to stop i have the program POW on my computer and it isnt
good I still have pop up sand crap coming up. I need to
know how to stop them and find the source of the problem
without downloading crap that doesnt work

The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
