I've got some troublesome adware on my computer, it tells me I've got 'critical system errors' and to download software off fixer32.com to, um, fix them! I've run my anti virus and adaware too but it still comes up every hour or so (haven't timed it but it's irrating). Anyone know how to get rid of it?

It sounds like you need to turn off Windows Messenger. Have a look at :
