This is so bad.
I don't even go on a site or anything.
I have wireless. For example:
I'm using paint or itunes, which is not online.
Then all of a sudden an ad pops up like
all the time now! I know pop ups when you go
on a bad site but this is different! Like
somehow they hacked on my laptop or something!
This is so bad ! I really don't want to download
anything I just want this to stop !

Upgrade your Internet Explorer. It has a built in pop up blocker which allows you to decide which sites you want to receive popups from! Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx

Turn on your browser pop-up blocker. Then get the programs below to deal with your issue.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

1: Clean your laptop: I recommend downloading, installing, and running the following
--Any good Anti-Virus software (I recommend AVG - they have a free version at http://free.grisoft.com )
--Ad Aware, found at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ This is also free for individual use
--Spybot, found at http://www.safer-networking.org/ Despite it's name, it is an excellent tool that is easy to use which works very well in conjunction with AdAware. Also free.
2: Download and install Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com ) This excellent browser will block popups.

save all your e mail, photos, video clips to CD and then use the device restoration disk that got here with the computing gadget to wipe and reinstall the working device back to the unique state. Then acquire antivirus utility and definitely use it.
