  I'd recommend AVG's free anti virus. It seems to work as well as any of them, and it's free. I haven't had a virus problem in a couple years.

  Also, if you're getting pop ups, I suspect you're running Internet Explorer? If you are, make sure to uninstall anything you've added to your browser like search boxes or weather alerts or any of that crap. A lot of browser add ons have pop ups and other spyware.

  Sounds like you have some spyware called VirtuMonde along with some other fun stuff. Try this..

  Go to http://www.trendmicro.com. Do a free online scan. It will remove viruses and spyware. Free of charge. Even though I have Norton Antivirus and Internet Security, I still to a trendmicro scan every once in a while because it catches stuff the even Norton doesn't catch.

  Yes... AVG is good as JohnDoe said... also you could try FreeAntVir - I like that one.

  The only way you get this stuff is visiting porn sites.

  That's patently false. Many sites have trojans and spyware. Just about any song lyric site you visit will give you a virus if you don't have protection.

  I use hijackthis to locate rogue registry entries from spyware and adware.

  go to http://www.hijackthis.de to have it analyze the log file and recommend what to do to remove trouble entries.

  Adaware is also good at removing spyware etc.
