How do I get rid of pop-ups?

Sorry for this one guys. Used to study programming now can't remember a thing.

Bloody ad ware popping up every second. Found the source I think C:/windows/system32/adcache

I delete the offending files but within 5 seconds they re-appear. Any suggestions?

Download a program called Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com.

This will get rid of all offending popup and spyware software thats found its way onto your machine.

Is it your cookies that are the prob?

Probably along similar lines, but somehow I am getting e-mails from prno websites, mostly addressed to "Tim", and they sound like real filth (watch teenagers eat shit) that sort of thing. How can I stop this? My kids go on my computer, so for the moment I've password-protected IE, and set the filters to high, but is there a more permanent solution?
