What version of Windows/IE? If the popup windows are IE then it sounds like a malicious "Browser Helper Object". These tie into both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer since they are effectivley the same program. So opening my computer or surfing the web can cause popups.

To see your BHOs open IE and goto Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons
