I've been having a fairly large problem with pop-ups just starting this past month. I have used both Spybot, and Ad-ware multiple times with no success in addition to the other steps metioned on this site. I've been using Mozilla Firefox for a couple of years now and this is the first time I have ever had a problem with pop ups. Below is my hijackthis log:
