If you have ANY popups you probably have adware. It's not a bad idea to use Ad-Aware AND Spybot because they search for slightly different things. Make sure you have the newest versions of both.

Check out this CNet review on Norton: "Resource hogging bloatware" - Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware user opinion and rating - CNET Reviews

Oh also - how much RAM do you have? RAM is relatively cheap but improves your performance significantly!

If you buy a new computer buy a Mac.

Thanks for the help!! I feel like an idiot but I'm not sure how much RAM I have, lol! I'll try a few other things but I'd love to have an excuse to get a Mac, haha!
