    Do you have a pop ups-blocker?

    Antivirus can't catch pop ups because pop ups are too 'small'.

    You need a pop ups blocker, and a anti spyware

    Do you always update the lastest version of your antivirus?

    If you have a Google Toolbar, there's a pop ups blocker that you can set it.

    If you have Yahoo! Toolbar, there's an anti spy there.

    Why don't you try this program, Spyware Terminator?

    This program can protect your computer, from pop ups until spyware or viruses.
