Strange White Box

I recently got DSL and it was fine for a week, no issues, all of the sudden, I open a page, any page, and I get a "pop-up" type box that pushes the top of the page down 5-6". Nothing has ever shown up in the box, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have McAfee and it doesn't detect anything in the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this for good. I hope my explination makes sense. Also, I have 2 pop-up blockers, and I am still getting many pop-ups, but they call themselves pop-unders, how do I block them? Thanks!

Are you using SP2? The pop-up blocker in there works good. Also if you have any added toolbars, I would uninstall them. Try a free active X scan at http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php and remove all it finds
