just download mozilla firefox! It automatically blocks popups, and protects you from adware.

Scan your computer for worms and viruses. Let us know which ones you have and where you got it from (hint: porn sites... jk... maybe not...).

Google Toolbar DOES pwn. However there is NO popup blocker that works if the ads are coming from adware. Download Spybot or Adaware and do a scan. Also the trendmicro scan is a good idea. Watch out for the VBS.StartPage.Trojan, it's a b!tch and a half to get rid of.
Also, give Spyware blaster and spywareguard a try, they work pretty good to prevent that crap from even getting installed in the first place

well, i got the google toolbar, but i got a few popups so i guess im going to do a adaware AND spybot scan which i have from when i had some gay "searchpage" thing that was p***ing me off and i finally got rid of thanks for the info
