Try disabling messenger service. This article should be able to help. For more information this Google search should help.

I found that pop-up which is always display automatically was from easy.adpozwerzone.com

Did you check the startup folders? Maybe there's a link in there.

I'd check the Run folder in the registry to see if it is listed there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Edited due to SirDice's catch. (two posts down)

I already check startup folder, but found nothing. And I was wondering, There is no Currentversion\Run below Microsoft in registry as whatthe said.
-
There should be windows between Microsoft and currentversion.
The correct key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
You may also need to check:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
*Note: The run key doesn't have to exist in current_user but if it exists check it.

Sorry for forgetting to type Windows. I'll edit.

I think that it might be in your Windows "Hosts" file/folder
You did not state your operating system so I cannot give you precise instructions :(
Use Windows Explorer to find your hosts file/folder and open it in a programmer's text editor like notepad or wordpad.
Delete the references to the malware.
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST
Please do not take this as a criticism, but it would help us to help you if you stated operating system & browser type/version for software and the physical specifications for hardware. Yes you have posted before and you have a profile, but I am sure that you have all sorts of friends and relatives asking for help so we don't know what machine you are working on :D
Cheers

OK John, I have one of those :)
The file should be c:\windows\system32\drivers
Which is not surprising, as drivers load during the POST (boot) cycle?
Better idea:
1. Get Spybot Search & Destroy (you should already have it...it is free!)
2. Set it to load in "advanced mode"
3. Start it up and select "tools" from the left hand column.
You can now check/edit all sorts including
BHOs
Hosts File
System Startup
Browser Pages
Which is where a lot of this crap tends to hide ;)
Good luck, and let us know how you get on

I've tried Spybot Search & Destroy to remove them, but after i restarted my system, then 1 msg displayed on the screan said that some of the file .dll unloaded bcoz cant be found in system32 folder.
Anyway thanks to nihil. I think better I reformat my windows again.
