advertising spyware
how do you get rid of the pop-up windows for spyware advertising that infect your computer?

I recommend everyone install the following five programs and run weekly or as needed:

Ad-Aware SE Personal (update + full scan)

Spybot Search & Destroy (update + immunize + scan)
Do not enable Tea Timer and SDHelper After installation: update + scan + immunize

SpywareBlaster: Update then open and click “enable all protection”. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

SUPERAntiSpyware free version: (update + scan)

CCleaner: Set to run when computer starts. Removes tracking cookies, unneeded files
Place cookies you want to keep in the save list.
Do not run “Scan for Issues” (registry cleaner) unless you back up the registry first.
