Your PC is infected with adware. Use these scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

If you are using Windows XP and Internet Explorer, be sure you are running XP Service Pack 2 and upgrade to Internet Explorer 7. IE7 has its flaws, but it is a lot better than the previous version in terms of security and usability. You may also wish to consider using another browser for daily activities. Both Opera and FireFox are very good and will block the pop-up spam you are receiving.
