mi amigo's computer is utterly infected with the stuff. tons of pop ups and infected files. trojans downloading trojans downloading trojans. it's pretty much a lost cause. i might be able to go through and individually remove them but i have neither the time nor the patience so i'll probably just bring a Windoze disk over and re-install. let this be a listen to you: install Windows updates when they come out, download a realtime virus scanner (like Avast!), download Adaware and check for bad files regularly, download a firewall like Comodo, and download Spybot to immunize your system.
it's a hassle (for most people anyways. i actually thoroughly enjoy keeping a pristine computer) but it'll be worth it in the end.
