I have no idea why (SINCE I'M LIKE HELEN KELLER WHEN IT COMES TO LEARNING COMPUTER SHIT, ONLY SHE COULD PROBABLY KICK MY ASS AT IT :( ), but all of the sudden starting today I've been getting a barrage of pop-ups every five minutes or so that say stuff like "ARE YOU TIRED OF POP-UPS" and "POP-UP KILLER KILLS POP-UPS OMG". And they aren't small ones either. They're those full-screen fuckers.

Does anyone know what I should do? I have SpyBot, but it seems to freeze itself before it gets halfway done each time.

Have you ever tried Ad-Aware? It works for me.
