I got these a while back. I concluded that I had downloaded too much porn. They kept coming back even after I deleted them.

I used to get them things a lot, really fucked me off, they never seemed to do anything to my computer. I always assumed that they came when you downloaded something, or that my sis was being a cow and downloading shit.

I don't download much porn to be honest all the stuff I do is through limewire anyways

I think its to do with MSNPlus or some MSN addon, if you downloaded that?
Try this:
Adaware

Microsoft AntiSpyware
