if you're using internet explorer 7 make sure your po-up blocker is turned on.
Tools - Pop-up Blocker - Pop-up blocker settings.

Having the filter set to Medium should stop most things.

If using Firefox:-
Tools - Options - Content tab

Make sure Block pop-up windows is checked.

Alternatively it might be worth scanning your system for spyware, especially if the pop-up appears on any page you access.

Spybot Search and Destroy is very good for removing spyware, and free.
