One can never be paranoid enough when it comes to spyware and adware.

That's a little overkill, though. Being paranoid to go to any websites at all?

Depends, what kinda website it is. Also if there are a lot of pop-ups at that site.

But there weren't any popups on that site.

Well if the content was like what sarah posted, then I can understand. Most adware comes from sites with material related to that.

It's my fault, her computer was totally possessed with like 400 spybots and I cleaned it out for her and gave her a stern warning

Way to make the poor girl paranoid, Alex.

Haha, that entire condemning and pardoning sequence happened without me even being here... thanks, Al. And, yeah, my computer's pretty fucked... I don't know, my software doesn't find anything but I still get pop-ups all the time on legit websites, like MSN and Google... grrr.
Yeah, I'm trying to be a little paranoid, running spyware every time I go on the internet, trying to figure out how to keep it from being insane... haven't gotten it to work, yet. Oh, well.

Sounds like you've missed some adware that made itself onto your machine. Get more adware/spyware removal programs. Not all of them will catch everything, so they work best if you have more than one. I've personally got about 5.
