Where are you getting pop-ups from while your playing?

Search Google for programs like AdAware and also Spybot. You can also
install a free Firewall like ZoneAlarm after that your system is cleaned up.
ZoneAlarm will ask if you want an application to access the Internet and you
just check a box so it does not ask it again. The first time you run Diablo
or IE you say yes but if it is an unknow program, just search what it is on
the net. The Firewall is also very good to detect if a Virus or a Trojan
wants to access the net. Do not bother about all the false alarms. The first
time you see one just check a box and you will not see them again. You will
have a log file anyway and these "attacks" come from websites or advertisers
who want to keep track of your surfing habit.

What pop up killer do you use??
If you have Kazaa or Imesh on your system, get rid of it :)
If you have to have something, try Kazaa lite.
Spybot Search and Destroy will remove any spyware that could be initiating
the popups as well.
A few of us at work use a pop up killer called "Another IE pop up killer"
and that works fairly well.
And as VD has said, Zone Alarm will put a stop to any pop ups initiated by
apps on your machine.
