You should have started this thread in the security section since someone may want you to post a HiJack This log or run a good sweep of the system using more then one program. You obviously were hit with a popup ad generator.

One of the best freeware adware/spyware removers is Spyware Terminator that will not only scan and remove a large variety of bugs but also places an active guard much like a firewall around the system registry. http://www.spywareterminator.com/

If you are not running any antivirus program I can suggest the free version of the latest AVG 8.0 build by Grisoft since that now sees an updated form of Ewido an older bug remover built into it. Grisoft bought out Ewido some time back. http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe

XoftSpy SE with the home page in the U.K offers a trial version that lists being able to remove popup generators in it's description. http://www.xoftspy.net/

Run a good full system sweep with these to see if the popups cease once the bot is found and removed. AVG and Spyware Terminator can be left on for continuing protection while the XoftSpy SE is only a shareware with a time limit. If the problems still persist start a new thread in the security section or having this one moved there would be the next step.
