Cheers for all your suggestions guys, I'm afraid a format is out of the question, I'm in mid termtime at uni and there just isn't time and I need my PC to work on. I can suppress the ads by scanning every now and then but there are some that keep coming back.
I do use IE7, but thats because I've never really got on with firefox or opera. On my PC firefox is a snail for loading pictures for some reason. Does firefox have superior pop up blocking and the like?
The thing that is really bugging me is this one where the download complete sound keeps playing for no reason. It seems to start usually when i have itunes running. Anyway, thanks again and I'll have a look at Nod32

firefox runs about the same speed for me as IE, but blocks all the bad things without any of the good. Never ever get popups. Just don't believe people who say firefox is more stable; I get an unholy amount of crashes in it, but no more then I ever got in IE

Firefox 2 seems to be slow for low ended computers. I'd say you should try Firefox 3 beta (They fix over 300 memory leaks!) or Opera.
But yes, IE is a virus and spyware magnet, don't use it.
