There was a adult-site visisted on my computer, and now we cannot get all the pop-ups to stop coming up (2 days later, our computer is bombarded with them), and it has gained a virus along with it (spyware).......please help.
The free virus protection site we visisted, seems to be doing no good...... please help (in a cheap manner.)

Go to Download.com. Two of the best spyware removing programs are free there. The first one is Ad-Aware. The second one is Spybot. I recommend getting both of them. They work in slightly different ways so by using both of them you'll remove more spyware that way. If those don't solve your problem. you may have to resort to reformating your hard drive. Try these two programs first and only do the reformating as a last resort.

1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender
http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/
2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido
http://www.ewido.net/en/
3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy

4. Update your Windows at Windows Update. A fully patched, with all critical Windows updates, computer should not catch any spyware from simply visiting a website.

Since virus-scanners are best used as prevention, a virus might be preventing the free scanner from working properly. Try different ones.
1: First, choose a free online virus scan:
- http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
- http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
2: Next, run a free antispyware program like adaware:

Try to go with trusted Spyware removal software Like Ad-Aware, Spybot- Search and Destroy, Microsoft's Windows Defender(if you are using Geniune windows). You can search any of above on google for free from their websites.
If all these doesn't fix your issue go ahead with PrevX. you can get it from www.prevx.com (It is good, tried thousands of time when nothing works it really does).

Above are good answers, another thing you can try is Delete your Temporary Internet Files. Top of browser; Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files (Check "off line content" if box pops up).

same thing happen to my computer last time.
all you have to do is go to control panel and remove anything that you don't want to be in your computer.
if you have a lot of things in your computer and you don't know which one is which, then, go to my computer and click search, there you can choose either to search the whole computer or just part of it. it is better to search the whole computer though.
usually the spy-ware viruses has the word spy-ware on them or virus buster or whatever was downloaded on your computer. so when you find them, if they are not program that you put in your computer delete them and problem solved.
if you stuck, just email me.
