Hi there,
With the vagueness of the question, this could be one of 2 major infections.
The first could be something known as "Myzor" or "Security Center" which hijacks your browser on every launch. This also goes under the name of Spy Heal, Pest Capture, Malware Wipe, etc.
The second is when your taskbar informs you of being infected and then launched a spoof / fake antivirus page offering to remove this infection in exchange for payment. These usually go under the guise of Spy Dawn, AntiVermins, VirusBurst, SpyFalcon, SpywareQuake, etc.
The best and easiest way to remove any of these is by installing the Free Trial of Prevx1. This will scan your PC and remove any infections free of charge.

Dont download any of those cuz trojans are just waiting to invade ur pc if u do. To get rid of them, install Ad-ware personal SE. Its a free software and the most reliable one out there too. Google it and im sure u'll be happy with the results. Cheers!

the best way is to get a spam blocker or ad blocker toolbar or program. a good one for internet explorer is the google toolbar. by the way are most probably virus by the way so what ever you do dont download them.

Change your mind about things so that you do want them. That way, they will no longer be "unwanted."

I had the same problem. I do recommend you to use Spyware Doctor. I have tried it, and it simply worked out!!
