Funny, I run ME since my hardware does not like XP (tried it but had nothing but problems). I have had ME on it for over a year without any issues whatsoever and I work the piss out of it. It also stays up days at a time without reboots. I know a few others as well that run ME without issues and love it!. It's fast and stable for them and is an excellent gaming platform. Like everything, I suppose, your results may vary.
As far as your pop-up issues, make sure you are running the latest version of Ad-Aware like version 6. There are updates to it everyweek, just like with antivirus software, to protect against the latest spyware. You need to make sure it is current and you will likely find the source of your problems.
