while i am in one page, another page will pop up, saying "rdeirect" and another page will pen that is an advertisement, when i try to get out of the page, it keeps me looked on that page. It is spam, I have tried to block the web page, but it just changes the address enough for it to go through,

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.
