Answer 1

Looks like you have some Adware!  How nice huh?

One important thing is the fact that you should completely update the Operating System and ALL of the patches.  If your machine is patched for the vulnerability on the HD, then YOU cannot get infected.  It is the more proactive approach (patching your machine, keeping your software updated, using the most current firmware and drivers).  AV is ALWAYS reactive!

Your best start is to read to this forum -

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Install popblocker..that will prevent the popping up of windows.

You can download the popub blocker application from yahoo, google or.....and they are all free

Secondly, I am not sure what is your home page set to? Make sure that your home page is being set to some clean site like google.com or something what ever you wish
