POP UPS?

Sounds like a problem with your pc, Jeffrey.
BTW, watch out for 'Trickler'. That'* the latest by Gator. It slowly installs Gator on your pc over time to 'sneak' it back in after you delete it. Does it slowly so you don't notice. I'll vouch for adaware, too.
Jeffrey, you may need to upgrade/re-install your browser if the problem with BC persists.

That is even worse knowing they can hack into windows and make it send you messages.

Those messenger type ads are classic. In fact, one showed up that actually instructed me on how to get rid of them! The comp that the rest of my family uses is a MS Windows 2000 OS
It only affects Windows 2000 and XP, I run 98 on my system, and no problems.

I haven't seen it show up 40 times in a row (a virus maybe?) but it does come up frequently.
Go online and download Ad-aware and use this to help clean up your system. This will only clean it, not protect it. I am haveing similar issues with everything reappearing. At work, we are tracking down the servers that these programs download from and we are blocking hem. When I find out the server names I will post them so everyone who hates those popups can finally stop them.

Any ways, I just down loaded Ad-aware and I went onto webshots.com and no pop ups. Damn do I hate those pop ups .

I have seen a few different names on different systems but it'* basically the same thing.
Hope this picture will help, This pic is on a win XP PRO OS
