Hi kristawalk,

The first thing to do is scan for viruses and spyware. Follow the
directions at KRC and let us know how it goes.

Yes, I can log on.  It's everytime I turn on computer & I have to hit
cancel to each of them until it runs through them & then I can log on.

Hi kristawalk,

As described in the tutorial that I sent you, you should scan with
more than one program. At the very least, run the following (in the
order given).

1) Run HouseCall, a very thorough online virus scan:

Download and run the following programs ("check for updates" before scanning):

2) CWShredder:

2) Adaware

4) SpyBot

Hi Kristawalk,

Do you manage to access the computer after clearing the popups...?

Kristawalk,

You will need to boot the computer in what is called safemode and then
look at a key in the registry, this key will contain the various
spyware that is loaded on to your computer.

You can delete what you do not need. 

I can help you further if you wish?

what version of windows u have.

once u have spybot u might wanna run registry cleaner to clean up registries.
u can try any of these registry cleaner and see if it add any help.
