pop uos

i keep recieving pop ups from the same address(69.28.210.175/media/773379)
every 5 minutes on the nose 24/7.I'm using stopzilla to block these but they
still splash on my screen and are logged and momentarily slow my computer.I
use adaware and spybot searcch and destroy as well as delete my cookies but
it has no effect.
1. is it legal for these to be sent? if it is something needs to be done.
2.is it possible to stop these from reaching my computer?

Obviously stopzilla isn't working. Try Microsoft Antispyware beta
(http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx). If
you're using the computer for anythig serious (banking, or work), consider
rebuilding the system.
