ok i've ran adaware and spybot and im getting no signs of spyware. but i still get this random popup adds that come up if i leave my comp on...the also seem to come up while im playing a game i started a game of Red Faction and i had played about 5 mins when it came up the thing is that screwed my game up it brought me back to the windows screen and when i tried to click back into the game it was all messed up the screen was spinning what on earth could be going on?...also how do i get rid of microsoft messager these things keep popping up too i think that this has something to do with my problem

did you update adaware or spybot? it might be a new thing that they can't detect without an update.

Usually if your running P2P programs they'll open pop-ups for you.
