our main downstairs computer has a pop up problem.....or maybe something worse.

it's been throwing windows open with websites and ads in them....both IE and Firefox. i have the pop up blocker set on in both.... i tried to dl avg, but when i went to install it, i got the blue screen of death. so then i got spybot.....but that wont update( says it cant connect to the server) and therefore wont run. i tried to run the free kasperski scan to see what it was, but that wont d/l either.

it's like it knows i'm trying to fix it, and it's actively thwarting me.

oh, and when you do a google search, you click a link, and instead of taking you there, it takes you to a semi related ad instead. i think it's got a demon.
