Yep, all those pop ups indicate you have been bombarded
with spyware, so you'll need to install and scan with the
following
Adaware, or spybot, and the CWShredder

Add the Google toolbar to your explorer.

These items will help to rid the intial little bombs,
then use them to maintain your system, by the way they
are all free.
