STOP the POP-UPS on my computer

[Hootie]

I'm gonna throw my computer through the wall! I'm SICK SICK SICK of these damn pop-up ads that constantly flood my computer while I'd doing anything on the internet. I have a direct dial-up so I am not using AOL. Every morning I wake up and my screen has like 4 pop-up ads on it. Furthermore when I use some things like my AIM Subprofile it bombards my computer with pop-up ads.

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET RID OF THEM?????? HELP ME BEFORE I KILL MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
