PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products.

Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken.

SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG’s full version gets great reviews.

Anti-Spyware for a cost.
Personally I bought Webroot’s Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15.

There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs.
If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software

This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software

   Restart your computer in safe mode with networking (reboot and press f8 repeatedly before you see the Windows splash screen.)

   Use Google or something to find, download and install AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy, both are free.

   Run them both and you should have a relatively clean system when you are done.

   Finally, watch your browsing habits. Most "free" stuff isn’t entirely free, like sites that share copyrighted material. Be careful trolling porn sites. Think about paying Lavasoft for an "always on" version of AdAware.

   Good luck.

   To avoid/reduce the number of popups try using the firefox browser, it’s less prone:
