I don't know what your problem could be

but I suggest you run ad aware and try to get whatever you can off of that computer

that might help for a start

download ad aware here

you should clear your cookies.

It might be a cookie that is prompting all the pop-ups.
In IE 5.5 click on Tools, then 'Internet Options', click on Settings, then View Files. You will see all your cookies.

When you delete your cookies, you will lose some preferences on some sites. For example, if you have your password saved for some site (like tranceaddict), you will have to Sign in again. The same would apply for other sites. So you may just want to delete the cookies of sites you dont recognize (and any porn sites you dont want your parents to know you visited).

That's what you get from surfing porn/warez sites
