attack of the malware

My laptop had a random attack by malware yesterday. The result was devastating. I couldn't log on to anything except blogger and it wasn't funny. Probably it's karma for having aquired my firewall program through not-so-legal means.
Everything still isn't fixed at the moment which means pop-up is everywhere on my screen and I have to use the classic approach to pop-up fighting ie. closing every pop-up window manually and it's a pain in the ass.
Damn, I probably have to stop this, pop-ups seems to be appearing at the speed of light now.
