Re: HELP! Constant popups and extremely slow computer

Run ComboFix in Safe mode. If ComboFix reboots your machine as part of the process, restart in safe mode until a log is produced, then, restart in normal mode, and post the log. It will be located at C:\ComboFix.txt

You can boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work. Login on your usual account. Make sure to close any open browsers.
