I have recently re-formatted my friends pc but i keep getting pop ups they seem to come from the operating system they are in a grey box does anyone have any ideas what this could be.
 
Do these 'errors' appear once you are on the internet.

Many websites design there pop ups to look like a windows error, check to see if there is the internet explorer frame around the outside.

If so just download a pop up blocker. Mozilla Firefox includes one.

Could be Windows messanger- if you have atleast SP1 I think, know you can with SP2, go to ADD and Remove-Windows components and uncheck windows messenger, see if that helps!
