    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
    • Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
    • Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
    • When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
      • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
      • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • Then click Finish.
    • MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue. If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
    • On the Scanner tab:
      • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
      • Then click on the Scan button.
    • If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
    • The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
    • When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
    • Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
    • Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
    • The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.
    Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes, they may alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please permit the program to allow the changes.

    I've just posted a few suggestions to a similar question elsewhere, so I've copied and paste my reply for you lol.

    If you consider the free options, look at some of these to cover various threats:

    Ad-aware - good bit of kit, it's primary detection is for annoying pop-ups/home page hijacks/redirectors etc. something to run at least once a week:

    Ad-Aware 2008 Free - Lavasoft

    Spybot search and destroy - another useful spyware/adware/malware programme for scanning your PC on a regular basis:

    The home of Spybot-S&D!

    Malware Bytes, another useful all rounder:

    Malwarebytes.org

    When it comes to effective defence, remember the most important thing; It's only as good as it's latest update, leave your protection from updating regularily, and it's next to useless.

    A good firewall is useful, such as Zone Alarm or outpost as well, although I don't think they're free.

    then reboot

    if the pop ups have stopped then go to

    www.windowsupdate.com

    click on "express" and then download vista Service pack 1 , will take over an hour so give yourself time

    if you are still getting the pop ups then do run combifix

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

    as you are running Vista you only need to download the program , then run it as it shows

    if you run it, please post the log here
