annoying popups

[IBMan]

Hey, 'nother question, we all get these newer popups that say that your system is unstable and requires an upgrade, then may list a ton of Windows OSs that require it and then says that ME doesn't require it, go to registryfixer.com or fixit.com or w/e, any way to get rid of these

 

[office politics]

did you run spybot, adaware, antispyware?

 

[IBMan]

ad aware, and actually its my teacher's computer, and that is installed there also.
