use the current antivirus you've got installed run a scan with it, and if it finds nothing, you some anti spyware programs

It sounds like you got spy ware on your computer. I recommend you download either Spybot-S&D or Windows Defender.

Spy-ware, I had the same problem. Now every website opens popups, even Pokecommunity. I have run the scan with AVG 8.0 maybe it'll work. BTW Never EVER download that stuff which these pop-ups tell you to download or sometime they say:
"Your Computer is Infected. Run a free scan now with (insert anti-virus name here)"

Never trust anything like that!

if you're using AVG 8 you might wanna, change to another AV

If you have no luck with the advice given to you here, PM me and I'll help you out with a forum link, people who specialise with virus problems. I would post it, but I think it would go against forum rules for this section?
