The two best spyware programs I know of are Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Most likely, a simple pop-up blocker would not solve your problem at this point, but running mutiple spyware programs might. In the future, I suggest running a spyware scan once every week.

I have also found that Microsoft AntiSpyware, is also quite an effective program. And of course, its free.

Firefox + AdBlockPlus + Filterset.G (and a Linux distribution of choice as OS) and you are done.
