AdAware alone is not enough. You need another anti-spyware. Get the free SpyCatcher Express. Its very nice.

Try the 2 below.
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.

use Kaspersky Internet security 2010. and make sure your Firewall and Parental control is Active. Parental control is to block pornography sites and Firewall to block unwanted sites

Yahoo pop-up blocker on the Yahoo toolbar works well for me. Do you have it? Is it enabled?
Yahoo pop-up blocker also has an option for "why am I still getting pop-ups"?
Check it out.

You could also try editing your hosts file:

this will block most adware sites from even being accessed.
