Is SP2 installed and up to date? Before removing Internet Explorer read
this:

How do I set Internet Explorer to block pop-ups?

Pop-up Blocker is on by default. You should only need to turn it on if
someone has turned it off.
On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker.
Click Turn on Pop-up Blocker.

Hope this helps.
