 * 1) agree #ditto - haha.  I broke the rule of UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) and paid for it.  I only just recently got my computer back up to speed.  Avast is a great free anti-virus, they have a paid version that I only suggest getting if you do a lot of extra downloads and the sort.  If all your downloading would come from Steam and the occassional mod for a game from sites like Curse (or through their client) then free should suffice for you.  Also, any pop-up can house malicious software these days and the best way to get rid of a pop-up isn't to close it with your mouse.  Some of these virus coders are pretty good and actually code the window options (minimize, close, etc.) as flash-downloads just like the content of the "advert" you are looking at.  The best way to close a pop-up is to have the window selected from the taskbar and do the trusted ALT+F4 to close window.
