Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

If you can't fix it with the above listed scanners then you need to ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.
