Two of the most popular spyware removal programs is spybot or adaware. You can get both at http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/bro...rtIdx,1,00.asp

Also turn off your windows messenger which will give you popups. You can do it by following the instructions at http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/docs/messagepopup/

Finally run popup stopper to keep all other popups from bugging you while online. Personally I use popup stopper from http://www.panicware.com
