Im getting the occasional popups from pages on here.

Is that the site (which i doubt) or my pc (more likely) causing that?

It's most likely your computer. I have never gotten pop-ups from this site other than the occasional PM. Are your internet settings set to block pop-ups?

Yes.

I have a toolbar, but it tells me when they try to appear. I figured as much. The PC has only just has windows installed, im willing to bet it picked this up when the idiot who installed it downloaded the drivers.

Anyone know a good spyware purger?

Windows defender is surprisingly good, or there is Spybot-Search and destroy, or as Zuko said try ad-aware.
