Firewalls don't stop popups. To stop broser popups, you need a popup blocker for your browser. If your computer itself is opening popups, you're infected with malware. Try downloading Spybot and AdAware and running their scans to eliminate any spyware or adware on your machine.

It may be windows messenger (no relation to MSN messenger). If so this will stop it:

If not a screenshot will help find out what it is.
