Still Getting Pop-Ups

[Jack.fairhurst]

Hi,
I'd like to thank you for uploading the post explaining how to Remove pop-up ads from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome as that was a big help. Although I'm still experiencing problems from viruses I don't know how to get rid of.
I think my problems started as a result of trying to install a FLAC to MP3 converter which when I realised wasn't working, I uninstalled. However, since downloading it I've received numerous pop-ups and viral ads. Some of which I have managed to remove with the software you have recommended. However I am still left with Pop-up ads appearing often when clicking between sites, Ads including fake downloads for Internet explorer, firefox, java and Norton software appearing and Green links appearing on websites advertising fake software downloads or competitions to win money.
Have you any idea how I could fix these problems without needing to spend any money?
Thanks, Jack

Thanks a lot but I think I've sorted it, I went through my programs and uninstalled programs I was unfamiliar with and from what I can tell, the ads have stopped. Thanks anyway!
