This comp is fucked. I tried Panda, but they only took off 20. I need a site that completely cleans your comp, preferably for free. Any help?

Far as I know Panda is an anti-virus.. you probably want a couple other anti-malware tools.
Free online scanners.. recommended http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php http://www.spywareguide.com/onlinescan.php
Also... I highly recommend you download a free spyware scanner or two from here - http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#trustworthy
Ad-aware and AVG anti spyware being staples. If you're getting popups it's likely your computer is infected with all kinds of malware.. you probably want to get one or two of these programs and run full scans of your pc in addition to the free online scanner.
Also, I advise getting this to clean out your temp folders and various crap that could be bloating your pc.. if your getting popups or have any kind of spyware at all you will want to clear out your temp folder anyway.. this does it among other things - http://ccleaner.com/

Those articles are from 2004 and 2006. I haven't had a single virus on my macs in 24 years. Also, anyone who uses iChat instead of Adium with OSX should be shot.

Standard AVG is freeware and works pretty good.
You could also download Zonelabs Pro and scan your comp. and this serial should work for you should you decide to:

So you've been using macs since 1984? Hard to believe with you looking so young.

Well, I was looking for a good website that removed spyware and shit, and I checked out the first two links Shroomism posted(and they actually look like spyware themselves). Seems like he just did a quick Google search and posted the first two URLs he found without further checking.
I thought it'd be more interesting to comment on the 24 year old mac claim tho. If Macs really lasted that long, I wouldn't hesitate twice to spend 3x the price to own one(price to spec ratio).

Or maybe they are 2 year old links that don't work anymore? I'm a PC tech dude, I do this all day for a living.
