call me stupid if you must but i messed up...
2 days ago i was downloading something and got a popup asking to install and run something i thought it was for my project that i was downloading and said yes.....oops!!!!
now i can't do anything because of all the popups i get they are from one place mostly some are different.

My friend did the same thing. He ended up backing up all his files and reformatting his hard drive. He haad to reload all his programs and everything. He never could find where the popup had its files hidden.

you need to uninstall the program that you accidentally installed. Also you can get a program called adware from download.com that may help get rid of it also.
