Default Computer Nerds Needed

Alright, so I run anti-virus, window washer, delete temp files and cookies and all that ---- like everyday. Every time I'm on the internet I get these popups that are text based and look almost like another small window or something. They have alot of different messages like block pop ups, **** ----, anything. Let me wait and see if I can get a screen shot of one of them. Sometimes I'll get about 10 an hour, and sometimes I'll get like 5 in one minute.
How the hell do I get rid of this ----?

That would be an excellent way to GET a virus, not GET RID OF. Kazaa is a virus filled ----- house.

Stealth-

It sounds to me like you're getting ip net sends. You didn't specify what OS you're running, but if you turn off the Messaging service, they'll stop. If you need help doing that, post up your OS info.

Get lavasoft ad-aware, or Spybot- search and destroy, this will get rid of any spyware/pop ups

My sister just put adaware 6.0 and window washer 5 on my computer today and ran a sweep, but this has been happening for a while and it hasn't stopped. The pop ups look really official like an internet explorer window. i took a screen shot and onyx is hosting it right now.

Ok, so I went to historykill.com or some ---- and did every single thing they have to kill everything. The next step is to pour gasoline on this ---- and smoke a cigarette in close proximity.
