Answer 1

Set your browser block pop-up ads.  These settings do a pretty decent job of blocking the unwanted clutter / annoyance of pop-up ads.  This is not a substitute for having a good anti-spyware program(s), but it can sure reduce the amount of pop-ups you have to endure.

Internet Explorer:

Go to Tools --> Internet Options

Click on the privacy tab and make sure the "Block pop-ups" option is checked.

Firefox / Netscape:

Go to Tools --> Options...

Click on the Content tab and make sure that the "Block pop-up windows" option is checked.

Opera:

Go to Tools --> Preferences

Click on the General tab and make sure that "Block un-wanted pop-ups" is selected in the pop-ups section

Hope this was helpful

Answer 2

Run anti-spyware.  Spybot search and destroy is good.

Beware there are malicious programmes that pretend to be anti-adware that are actually adware!
