Based on a recommendation from someone here, I have been using Ad-Aware which seems to do a really good job of finding obscure dlls and registry settings that cause this. I mean, I get popups on sites that do not have popups, like this one, my webmail interface, and my own pages. It is however somewhat discouraging to see the registry settings keep coming back. I do think there is some program (possibly Kazaa) which makes these changes whenever you run it. Interestingly this only happens in IE; Opera is not bothered by popups. However, Opera does not like some scripted sites, such as HoF, so I can't just ignore IE. Do your popups something have a title about "specificpop network"?
