How in the world do you get stupid "partypoker" and empirepoker popups off your computer?? Spybot doesn't work

Question

I absolutely hate these partypoker, empire poker, and "would you like to win $150 pop ups !!! URUghghghg!!!
I've tried spybot but it doesn't work. The worst thing is that the
partypoker virus thing actually takes a window that will be on a
site I am viewing and it "magically" switches it to the partypoker site every 20 minutes !!! Where does this virus hide and what is the name of it?
I've searched through my files and I just can't find the source of
this filthy trash. This party poker stuff should be illegal !!
I really hope someone can help. This is really getting outta hand.
Thank you !
