download lavasofts adaware - install, update and run.
Do the same with spybot

In fact, install, update then reboot to safe mode (restart pc + press F8 till you get menu), then run above programs

Purchase and install a decent anti-virus program - I personally use Nod32 (www.eset.com) and for Firewall I would recommend either zonealarm pro or Kerio.

Well done, ensure that you "update" the software every few days, and run it regularly.

if it's still there - and some are rather tenacious - you could try smitfraudfix or similar...

Google it...
