Default Help!! Pop ups are driving me crackers!

Hi, got a bit of a problem with pop ups. When I'm surfing a new tab keeps opening itself. Before I installed new spyware, the new tab said that I had spyware issues and that if I didnt fix it, internet explorer would shut down to prevent damage to my computer. I put spybot, ccCleaner, spy blaster on to see if I could get rid (already had avg antivirus and antispyware and adaware on). Once I had scanned and fixed everything, my computer was faster for a while but when I went online again, the new tab popped up. The strange thing is that the tab doesn't display anything anymore. It just has the little internet explorer icon on the tab and it says "connecting". It is still just as frustrating, as I am always automatically taken to the new empty tab. Its driving me crazy.

Also, not sure if it is related to the same thing, but something called CAPI keeps stopping working. I don't know what it is or what it does. I noticed that when I have a few apps running, other things also stop working. When I looked on task manager, my computer was using 870+MB and I only have 1GB. I also checked when I wasn't running anything and I was using 750+MB. I don't think I should be using that much when nothing is really going on.

Only had this computer six months and its seriously dying and I have no idea why. Please help.
