I get alot of pop ups that wont close when i turn on my computer. i dont have any $ 2 go buy an anti

well i they come up even when i dont have a browser open. they wont close!!! when i click on one to close it it just closes for half a second and another one pops up in its place...

the only way i get by is by minimizing them and just doing what i need to do.

i dont have alot of money right now so i cant go out and buy an antivirus program.. is there any way i can download one for free or do an online scan?

i have windows vista and for some reason alot of sites that will scan and fix things like that wont work, i dont know if its because of my operating system or a virus maybe..

PLEASE HELP

Assuming that your browser has a pop up blocker and you have it turned on, those pop ups are indeed a sign of malware infection. Ad-Aware as suggested above is pretty lame in removing anything other than, well... adware. Your best first bet is to download, update and run Superantispyware.

go to downloads.com and search antivirus software, i use AVG and ad-aware, both great scanning programs that should work with vista
Pop-ups are mostly caused by ad ware, spy ware, and other malicious and unwanted software.
