    Ok here is another few.

    Spybot Search and Destroy

    Lavasoft Adaware

    Webroot Spy Sweeper

    And download a demo of Zone Alarm's virus killer/firewall. Thier firewall is awesome, although annoying IMO.

    i was thinking about all this spyware and adware stuff,i have tried loads of spyware/adware remover and it never works,so i'm guessing it's not spyware or adware

    i did think about trying that but these popups only come up when i'm on the net so would they be in the start up tab or located some where else?

    they always come up as soon as i launch IE

    Ohhh it's when you launch ie... well you do have malware, but the reason they are opening is because another program that is running opens then. IE doesn't open things by it's self, another program is. So do what I said :) Or atleast try.
