http://www.downloads.com get something called ad-aware, it finds all the things causing popups and removes them. However....if you remove them all Kazaa will not work, you cannot mess with the kazaa popup files.

I use Guidescope (http://www.guidescope.com). It works great. It is now extremely rare for me to get pop-ups now.
