One of the kids accidentally downloaded something on my PC, and now I'm being over-run with pop-up. I've run AD-aware 6.0 and Spybot S & D, but the problem still continues. Spybot found some things called People onPage, DSO Exploit, CleverLEHooker.Jeired, MyPC Search, and Virtual Bouncer. It removes them, but they keep coming back. Any help ?

Some of those damn things are nearly impossible to remove.  You might also try your antivirus software as they often identifiy spyware as do the programs you already have tried.  I expect you like 95% of the rest of the world use Internet Explorer as a web browser.  Honestly, I am amazed   ANYONE still uses that browser.  No real upgrades have been made to that browser since version 5.0.  I would recommend trying out Mozilla Firefox since it has the ability to stop popups already built in and has tabbed browsing which to my way of thinking is a great feature.  It's alot less vulnerable to many of the exploits that trouble so many Internet Explorer users.
