Question

How do I remove Vista antispyware pop ups from my computer?

Answer 1

It is very likely a Smitfraud infection. Fake and phony 'warnings' to try and con you into purchasing a rogue software to 'fix' the problem.

It should actually be called extortion-ware. First they infect your computer and then they want money to 'cure' it.

All of these are specialised removal tools for this type of fake, rogue advertising of useless malware removal softwares. (Zlob/Smitfraud infections.).

To prevent re-infection:

This type of infection (Smitfraud) is often spread by tricking the user into downloading and installing something, a "codec" or a "media player" at some site in order to make the site work. Usually a video site. Never allow a website to force a download on you to make something unless you 1000% know and trust the site. A great many of these downloads are trojans or other malware. Always know exactly what you are downloading! If you are not sure, DON'T!

Or it can be caused by a website exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows. Keeping Windows 100% patched and updated with all Windows updates will stop most of this infection avenue. To check, in IE click Tools > Windows Updates.
