Annoying pop-ups are a cause of spyware and adware. I protect my computer against them by using some good software like shown below:
Also when your homepage changes is due because of spyware.
Try one of the following programs. Viruses are usually spread by pop-up ads or file sharing programs such as Limewire, I recommend some pop-up blocker and firewall and a virus software.

hi, spyware is a disgusting and infamous virus. perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:
