Hi guys, first off I really appreciate anyone taking a looking at this. I'm pretty upset this has happened, as I just formatted my computer due system disk problems. Last night I download Google Sketch Up because I needed it for a project, and later that night I was getting IE popups all over my computer, even though I was using Mozilla. They would even come up at random times, without me being at the computer. I don't currently have a firewall or even virus scan on my computer.

The first thing you should do after a format is to get Anti-Virus protection!!!! Why on earth would you connect to the internet without one installed??
Lets try and get rid of the popups, then install an Anti-Virus program.

Here are three very good free Antivirus products which are available:
Select one of these, or another of your choice. Download, install, update definitions, and run a full system scan.
Note: You must only use 1 (one) AV at a time because if you have 2 or more AVs running at the same time, they will conflict with each other and make your security less reliable.
