There are too many varibables to tell you which it is, since there are so many..

For reference, never, and I mean never click inside the popup windows, then tend to be just images of buttons and so clicking anywhere on them is just asking for trouble..

Also, watch out for the double X windows, these are popup's that have a little X near to where the real X is, again this is a trick to try and get you to click in their window and thus "autherise" them to install junk to your computer..

Hmm, you could try Ctr+Alt+Del and check for processes you don't recogonise, there's only roughly 14 or so critical windows processes, maybe less maybe more depending on your configs..

Oh I'd suggest running Lavasoft Adware, that's pretty good these days..

Then run your fav virus scan..

Then restart and repeat above steps just to be sure.
