go to www.google.com, click on advancded (i think) to the right of search bar. then scroll down and click googletools and install googletoolbar. It's really good for stopping popups

search for AdAware on the net, i don't know what site you can get it from, sorry. Also goto control panel, on your pc and add/remove programmes. the offending program may be there.

LavaSoft make AdAware. It works. Also Another outfit make a prog called Spybot Search and Destroy. Use both together. Microsoft have recently released a beta of their own Antipsyware packaged (search their site).

You may want to install a firewall too (Black Ice seems to be popular).

Or, move to an Apple Mac and never have to deal with viruses and pop ups and spyware and crashes.
