Computer Pop Ups!!!!

I keep getting these pop ups from http://ad.oinserver.com. They just started yesterday and I can not stop them even with my pop up blocker set to the highest setting. Has anyone out there had this problem? If so I sure could use some help on how to get rid of this agonizing problem.
Thanks,
Larry M

sound likes spyware, try down loading Spybot Search and Destroy, update it and check for problems, also there is an option to imuniuze your computer.
you will probably get a few other suggestions for spyware, there all godd and alot better than nothing.

I'd check your "ad remove programs" feature in the control panel for any bogus progs

Search Ewido Anti-malware try their free download... It takes a long time to scan though...install it, go to safe mode, start the scan and go to bed...scan takes about two hours.

You better try MS antispyware beta 1 also.
If that doesn't help, go to Majorgeeks.com they can help.

Mantta,

Since they just started why not run System restore and roll back a few days. Make sure you select a day before it started. That should fix it. Then make sure you run a spyware blocker. I use spywareblaster and spybot on all my and customer machines. They are free/donation ware programs.

You run system restore from the start menu under accessories then system tools. Just in case you don't know where it is.

I tried to run the system restore. I was unable to back up the date to restore it to.
Thanks,
