download ad-aware or ccleaner. they're free and will protect you. try spybot too. but in order to ensure that your computer is fully protected, you really need to buy an anti-virus program like nortons or mcafee. good luck!

Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...
Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....
Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.
It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

AVG Antivirus is free and works great. You most likely do not have a virus, but have a Trojan. Go to http://www.download.com/ and search for Spybot (free) and adaware (free). download, install and update these before using them. They work ok to remove problems, but it is easier to block them with software than to remove them.

Enable pop up blocker
If ur using windows then open Internet explorer, click on tools, click on internet options and then click on Privacy, then check the option Block pop ups.
All the best
