I'm having huge problems with pop-ups, its not like before where they'd just pop up occasionally when I visited commercial sites and the like, and I'd just click them closed and go on, it's much worse: They just spring up all the time, as soon as I start up the Explorer, and it's almost impossible to read anything in the main browser window. What do I do against them?

Step 1 would be to ditch Internet Explorer for good, and get a better, more secure browser that offers in built pop-up blocking. An example wopuld be the oh so popular Firefox, check out mozilla.com and see if there's anything you like there.
Step 2, download some anti-spyware programs, like Ad Aware for example, and have them clean out your system.
