Constant Pop Ups!

I could kick myself from here to some other planet. I downloaded a photo program by accident called Photo Pos Pro. It was right below Photoscape and I accidently clicked on it instead. I downloaded from CNET which I thought was safe but since then I am inundated with constant pop-ups and that double line under words with links to ads :-( I just got this computer a few months ago and have slowly been getting it to my liking and now this!

I uninstalled both photo programs and the Spybot I thought might fix the problem. I have tried to do a systems restore but it comes back saying it can't complete due to anti-virus software (i have AVG) and also that it can't access a particular file - - 0X80070005. I disabled the AVG and tried every restore point with no luck.

Help!!!!!!

Well, I ran the program and it did identify some threats which I told it to eliminate. Still having the same problem though. Suggestions??
