    Get the google toolbar. It's free and it comes with a brilliant popup blocker.

    Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/...... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

    Download, update and run SuperAntiSpyware---http://www.snapfiles.com/get/SuperAntiSpyware.html

    Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....

    Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html...

    SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

    It's main features include:

    - Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

    - Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.

    - Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

    agree with the google toolbar. Dont have any pop-ups, and they can be so annoying. Good luck
