Adware or other potential problem?

1. Do you think this weird computer behavior is a result of adware?
2. Even though I use adware to delete all the stuff that shows up, it keeps coming back. Is there not a place on the computer where you can tell the computer never to allow anything from a particular website? Then I could at least "block" things like "purityscan" which seem to always make it on the computer;
Thanks a bunchs!

Adaware solved most of my problems. I already had spybot, so I don't know how effective that will be. I have heard they are releasing an updated version soon. I would also suggest changing your browser from Explorer (I'll assume that's what you're using) to something like Mozilla. I haven't had too many problems since switching. HANK IS AN ASSHOLE! Of course, no system is perfect.
