Sounds like you have some spyware trojans lurking in there. Not a problem really.
My sugestion is to do a search for Spybot S&D (Search and destroy). Its free and easy to use. Without getting rid of the spy programs, the pop ups will always continue.
Run Spybot S&D and kiss those spyware dudes goodby.
Good Luck

You have been suckered. I'm sorry. There is no easy way to say it.
SystemDoctor 2006 is a rogue anti-spyware application that gets installed by Spyware/malware without asking for permission. This infection can also be accompanied by other malware that changes your desktop background to a fake warning or by Trojans that issue fake taskbar security alerts. These are all used as a scare tactic to have you purchase their commercial software. A screenshot of this program can be seen below.
Go to the link below.

When I googled the term "system doctor" all kinds of sites came up about how to remove it...like that program itself was some kind of malware/spyware. It doesn't appear to be any good to me. You would be better off getting rid of it and going with AVG for antivirus and Ad-Aware or Spybot for spyware scanning.

Try installing Ad aware SE by Lavasoft on your computer and running it. That will help get rid of spyware. Its free and I have used it for years. I also use Avast virus scanner which is also free. Good luck.

not sure how good system doctor is, used to be crapware, but sounds like spyware or malware instead of a virus.

Sorry pal but SYSTEM DOCTOR is malware!
you will need to use 'spybot search and destroy' to remove it.
Spybot is to be found - free- at http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html
you could also use

as well. They will both get rid of malware easily for you.
Use them both regularly and you will be adequately protected!
Do use them!
good luck..... get back to us if you need more help!
