You may want to scan your PC for spyware/adware.
Here is a list of free scans.I would recommend running ewido first.

Your main problem, unfortunately, is that you clicked on the link which is now spreading to your friends via another contact who problem had a virus on their computer which is passed through MSN and now it's infected your computer and is passing it on to your contacts.
You should do a virus scan on your computer and hopefully it will remove it.
If not, you could go to a website where experts analysis a HijackThis log which is a program you download and when you post your log, these people can help you remove all traces of viruses/trojans.
http://www.webuser.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/Cat/0
Register, go to the Hijack This Forum, read the instructions on how to post a log, give a brief description of your problem (like you've just typed) and post your log there. The guys in there are fantastic and trustworthy and will guide you through in getting rid of anything nasty from your computer.
You must post a HijackThis log as per the instructions, not just your problem.

its adware. you need to get a firewall or set it on a higher setting, anti-spy, anti-virus protection and a pop-up blocker.
