you can go to symantec norton antivirus to check your computer online

Norton Anti Virus is best. Becuse faster & powerful & etc .

first of all if you don't use mozilla firefox web browser i strongly recommend you use it to avoid the popup problem. secondly, download AVG antivirus and AVG antispyware, the free version of course. run a full scan with the spyware clear the viruses and do the same with the antivirus.

try getting avg free edition it's good and free for 30 days then put your computer in safe mode and run the checks,see if that works.

norton used to be the best now it slows the pc down so much,i'd rather have the virus!

try a nice free program like avg antivirus http://www.avgvirusfree.co.uk/

the problem you are having is more like spyware than a virus
try adaware by lavasoft - that's free too!http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,7423-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html

or spybot - its very good but all the pop up prompts are a bit annoyinghttp://www.download-spybot.org/spybot_spybot.htm
it even catches pages from within yahoo - double click is always trying to install! yahoo - are you listening?
