Scan for viruses/adware/spyware in safe mode.\n\nEDIT:\nThat program put something in the regristry that made it keep coming back. You should also scan the registry for thtat.

Get a popup blocker from Google or Yahoo. Then run a spyware program such as Spybot or AdAware. That should clean up your system or at least tell you what is affecting it so you can manually search and remove the pesky things.

I would run a spyware/virus scan on your computer. Ad-Aware and Spybot are the best, Windows Defender if you have Windows XP SP2. The first two can be had from www.download.com and the second from www.microsoft.com. If you continue to get popups, you can try some advanced removal tactics, but usually it's best either to take your computer to a repair shop who will remove it for you, or to reformat your system. Remember to backup your data first!

In your browser go to Internet Explorer and the privacy tab. Enable or check popup blocker. If you use Firefox there is a tab for that too.\nGet Ewido free 14 day trial. Reboot your computer in safe mode and run this program to get rid of spyware or adware. Microsoft has Defender which you can download too.

Even the best popup blocker will not stop popups that are generated by malware that has infected a computer.\n\nDo all 3 of these:\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\n3. Scan for ad/spyware and remove (free download) with Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

Try going to a section in your computer called, "My Computer," and deleting the programs you do not want.  It would also benefit you to download a "POP UP" protector.  If my answer doesn't help you, then put your question in the Internet Section of this Q&A group.

I know of a free registry cleaner that is better than Registry Mechanic.  It's called RegSeeker.  It will search your registry for invalid entries and has a few other nifty tools.  Link is in sources.

You might have a spyware infested computer. Try to use some popular spyware cleaners (such as Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, or Microsoft Anti-Spyware).\n\nIf the answer above isn't what you're looking for (as in, these pop-ups appear when you are browsing certain websites, then you should get a pop-up blocker.\n\nYou can find Spyware cleaners and pop-up blockers at  www.download.com.

Hiya,\n\nIf you're not the most confident person who doesn't want to edit the registry, an automated method of removing this malware is by using a program called Prevx1.  This is an all-in-one solution that is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware trojans, etc) than all other leading security programs.\n\nBelow is a link to more detailed information on the Spyware Sheriff threat, plus a link to a Free Trial of the product that will scan your computer and automatically remove all trace of this:\nhttp://virusinfo.prevx.com/viruscenter.asp?returnpage=default&GRP=4738900018

Add CCleaner and use it to clear both the system and registry.\nThen check for spyware using AdAware and Spybot S&D to catch ALL the spyware. One doesn't catch all.\nThen run a free ROOTKIT detector. This is different from the other solutions.\nIf you have a rootkit, you need a professional to remove it.
