There's something wrong w/ my computer! There are pop ups all the time even I'm not on any website. As long as I'm on the internet, then there are pop ups. We have a pop up blocker thingy but it doesn't work. I scanned for viruses and we deleted a lot of things but there are still those stupid pop ups. Plz help!!!

It is very likely that your computer is infected by spyware / adware. In order to remove the malware, I suggest downloading and installing one of the following programs:
Microsoft Windows Antispyware
Webroot Spy Sweeper
Lavasoft Ad-aware

Not all viruses can get deleted if you just scan with some anti-virus software
Run hijackthis, see what looks suspicious, then restart your computer in safe mode to delete those things
But a couple of years ago I got a virus that installed spyware/etc on my computer so even when I deleted a whole load of things on top of all the virus scanning, I still had problems. Was forced to reformat. Same problem happened to another friend and he had to reformat also. Hopefully your problem isn't as bad as ours :/
