Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages'

Hello everyone out there,
I need help!!! I just installed something called freescratchwin and it basically
changed my homepage and other stuff and now countless pop ups come up...I've uninstalled
it and deleted every file that i could find, even other stuff such as vegaspalmscasino
has been installed too. the freescratchwin comes up more frequently now asking for
me to agree with the policy and there seems to be no way to get out of it without
getting an error which causes whatever i'm looking up to go corrupt and it has to
take the internet page with it. Anyone else who has had this problem please help...because
there are many "dirty" popups coming up and the homepage that it changed it too is
also some sort of porn search engine........NEVER DOWNLOAD FREESCRATCHWIN on your
computer.......anyone who reads this please I need answers...I had to download a
free ultrastopper to stop the pop ups and that got rid of like over fifty of them....and
still other pop ups com up but just not as many..........Help that's all I ask.........please
reply if you know a possible explanation........
P.S. If you have a yahoo messenger (im) me my screen name is poolofsickness_17 and
on AOL instant messenger I am poolofsickness17
HELP HELP HELP
I'm desperate

install and use ad-aware (5.83)
ad-aware5.83
in the future, install and use proxomitron to avoid such things:
Proxomitron4.4
also, get firewalled while you are at it:
KerioPersonalFirewall2.1.4
