download adaware & spybot search & destroy.
update them & then do a thorough scan in each program.

or use mozilla firebird with its built in popup blocker...

you should get a firewall too (dunno if you're on xp, xp has an in-built firewall).

...or use OPERA!

It has built-in pop-up stopper with options to only show *requested* pop-ups.
