I seem to be having a problem with the windows that popup on AO. Before you start flaming, let me explain...

I though it was the computer I was on for a short while, but the laptop is doing it to. If i try to give points, pull up the buddy list, or anything else that launches a java window closes as it opens.

The thing is, there is no popup blocker. I don't feel the need for anything like that. I have a few programs that might be the problem, as follows:
Bit Defender 8 Pro Plus
Sygate Firewall Pro 5.5
Ad-Aware/Watch SE Pro Build 1.04
All of these are ran on WinXP

Any one got any ideas what might be doing it? I have searched all the settings on everything I can think of and have found nothing. I have even made sure to have all the latest java console/enviroments. Im completely at a loss at this point.
