Yea I figured. Seems like he just needs a decent pop-up blocker and a few spyware tools.

And if look2me is behind those pop ups, none of those programs will help :) It requires ewido and/or special fix. But you can first of course try those that ddp suggested. If problem is not fixed, then post here a HiJackThis-log, instructions here ->http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/263784 (steps 3 and 4)

@james164: Do the following, please.

Send a HijackThis-log, instructions -> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/263784 (steps 3 and 4). That's very essential. In this log we can see, if eg. look2me is behind those popups

@james164: Do this what I asked you to do earlier.

Send a HijackThis-log, instructions -> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/263784 (steps 3 and 4).
It's very probable that I can see in this log what's behind those popups. HijackThis-log shows eg. what programs start when windows starts etc.

EDIT: A description of HijackThis is here -> http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/
