The store that I bought my XP from gave me two downloads and I did get rid of those stupid popups. Stop-the-Pop & Pop-up Manager and they are free of charge:

Stop-the-POP http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10144469.html?tag=lst-3-7
or
Pop-up Manager http://download.com.com/3000-2378-10189471.html?tag=lst-3-12

Instant messenger should be shut off while you download. Good luck!

Before buying any software, I suggest you check out these three links: The first is by JWooden271 here at AnswerPool.

Stop messenger popups

The second concerns using the Windows Host file:

What is the Hosts file?

Using the toggle switch with Hosts

Be sure to note the section on using Hosts in Windows XP.

I hope this helps!
