Never download any recommended crap from popups, and never believe a popup virus warning when browsing the web.
I wouldnt bother with adaware, its become a bloated buggy resource hog.
First things first, you want to go to http://www.antivirus.com and do an online free scan, cause if you have a virus, your current AV is most likely infected or useless anyway. Disable your AV while doing the online scan.
If you have a virus, then you will need to uninstall your current AV (in case of infection) then do the online scan/reboots until its gone, and reinstall your AV afterwards.
Second, if it's just spyware as aton says, then do the online scan above, then also download Spybot and do a scan with that.

Use of undefined constants causes assumptions!
I'll add... once you've got rid of the infestation, do make backups so if the worst happens again you will have copies of all of the important data on your computer.
If you need a good and proper AV down the road - I recommend Nod32. Can't praise it highly enough.
