Good spyware scanners are Adaware and SpyBot.

It seems like a bit much but I'm not their to take a look at your computer myself, nor do I know how proficient you are with doing some of the things I would do, so scanning umpeen million times should help you out. If not, take it into a shop and pay an arm and a leg.
This has all been done

I ran a program called Security Task Manager ( http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/ ) and it seems to have potentially solved the problem... for now.

Now if I could only figure out why this computer keeps getting disconnected from the network..

edit:

nope... seems as soon as IE went online, the pop-ups are back.

Dangit.
