Removing those infectious "Ads" (2 Viewers)

[JoeysBoy]

Last time dad took the computer to a specialist, he found around 480 ads! Needless to say they were slowing my computer down incredibly... not to mention making it do funny stuff!

Does anyone know how to remove them? Where are they located? What legitimate programs do I need to do it myself?
