Take a deep breath. Then, go get yourself some tools to help you.
Start with
Ad-Aware 6.0 - for removing spyware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot Search & Destroy - for removing spyware
http://www.safer-networking.org/
Download, install update, and run each of them. Before you do, delete
temporary internet files and internet history.
Then, you need a good firewall like Zone Alarm or the built in XP firewall
ZoneAlarm is available free at:

Then, go get yourself a free popup blocker.
Google Toolbar - for blocking popups
http://toolbar.google.com/
Make sure you have anti-virus software enable and updated. Run it often.
After you've done all this, post back if you still have problems.
