What sort of pop is it?

Check your msconfig startup and make sure thers nothing starting in the registry from startup.

Just little pop up in the corner of the screen every now and again think it must of got there when i tried to download fish tank screen saver i think

Maybe you should try and install the yahoo toolbar which aint too bad this has a pop up blocker and a antispyware scanner. Just go and install and update then run the program ...couldnt be easier.

using XP, goto >START>RUN> type in "msconfig" without "" (lol) and goto startup tab, this shows what programs are running in the background, by unchecking the boxes will disable programs on windows bootup
 
Use firefox thats really good at getting rid of popups
