I think it is some cerrtain peoples posts that I open...ill watch more closely. This happened not only on this machine but the work machine too...something about passport messenger or something.

According to MS, pop-ups are no longer a problem in WinXP SP2, apparently they got round to attending to it by then, after they'd built more than a few industries on it, wasted milllions of users' Internet hours chasing spams, browser hijack 'softwares' or waiting for the wrong pages to load, encouraged spam worldwide and finally started losing a lot of IE users, had using IE banned by orgs such as Deptartments of Defence, etc.

However I wouldn't really know if they have as I haven't used IE (except when forced to temporarily by a recalcitrant, misguided or ignorant institution) since Phoenix and Firebird. Go FireFox and all in the Mozilla camp: Saving our inboxes and more... good on em... :) GP

im going to run all my spyware programs and see if I catch anything, ill be real surprised if I did though. It seems about any downloadable program installs soo much fat, and browser bars, and its own pop up blockers, maybe I did snooze on something. Like quicktime changed to the default player and installed Itunes everywhere...bastards.

It was caused by someone trying to host pictures on an MSN site that requires login. I believe it was only the one post that caused the problem.

Strictly speaking, these aren't popups in the sense of the usual advertising popups. They are emitted by your browser to enter credentials to access the subject data. I think the guy managed to put his pictures somewhere less obnoxious.

I got them yesterday from someone's post that had pictures. When I read his thread the passport sign in popped up.
