Download Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spywar Blaster.

The links are in this thread somewhere:

I've been using STOPzilla and have been very impressed, it keeps a blacklist of every popup piece of spy/adware etc

Use mozilla firefox to browse. Built in pop up blocker and an excellent browser to boot
