run a hijackthislog and run it through http://www.hijackthis.de/
also do a
RootkitReveler

and use adblockplus addon for ff

I use firefox, no script, adblock plus and privoxy. Can't even remember the last time I saw a popup or ad.

Run malwarebytes to remove the infection(s).

Well you will be happy to know that the laptop no longer suffers from pop-ups.

my little lad broke the screen
