If they are pop-up AD's..........then activate the pop-up blocker setting on your firewall or antivirus system to block them.

The US CERT, the DHS, and even Microsoft, have either warned us to not use IE, or told us to use one of the many different browsers, until the 'new' IE is fully tested.
I like http://getfirefox.com because it blocks all pop-ups. It is fast, and FREE!
Oh! FireFox is Open Source, and that means that no private data is stolen by that mean old convicted Pirate and multiple FELON, Microsoft, to be SOLD to their 'TRUSTED PARTNERS' so that you receive some 'selected' or some 'preferred' messages in the form of pop-ups!
Some evil 'crackers' also know how to use Microsoft Internet Exploder to access your deepest system files, to steal private information, or to control your mail, to send out spam to all your friends in your Address Folder!
So, the Department of Homeland Security, and The US CERT agree that no one should use IE.
Microsoft runs 45,000 FREE Linux computers, for all Microsoft.com, Hotmail.com, MSN.com and Redmond Campus firewalls, servers, computer systems, and routers.
So, Microsoft, the richest purveyor of software theft on our planet, uses the FREE stuff that actually is virus proof!
Microsoft doesn't suffer any pop-ups, or, spammer crap, anymore!
If you want to use the FREE and very easy Linux, complete with thousands of free games and programs, Operating System on a LiveCDrom, that boots in the CDrom, then go get this Linux, that includes Firefox and Opera browsers, complete Office Suites, games, programs, Potato Guy, and more!
All our schools do it!

Sound like you have spyware... :((
Install Microsoft Defender or Ad-Aware and try to clean your PC. However, it might not work as they install themselves in complex places.
You may have to reinstall you PC if you want to make sure to get rid of them.
And yes, using Firefox in the future may help.
Good luck!

Try to install a "Pop up blocker " you normally get one with a Tool Bar, Google or Yahoo for example.

Use Firefox browser http://www.mozilla.com
Once installed, click on Tool, Extensions, Get more extensions and install the adblock extension
