I keep getting these pop-ups on my computer every few minutes.

This happened around the time I downloaded a game from limewire (coincidence?).

Also, there is this thing called yoog that is now my default search engine instead of Firefox/google.

Is there a connection between yoog and the pop-ups?

I want to get rid of yoog regardless, but I'm kind of hoping I can hit two birds with one stone here.

You probably got adware or something.

Try removing the browser and use Ad-aware to search your computer. It most likely downloaded that crap.

I'm technologically challenged.

Could you briefly explain what that is and a step-by-step process of how to do it, please?

Thanks.

Try using a spyware remover. You have a spyware installed on your pc.
