Random ad pop-ups PLUS hideously slow pc PLUS 'IE hs encountered a problem...'

[mooseydog]

Afternoon all.

I've had some excellent help on here over the last few years,and although this isn't quite as urgent as previously I could still do with some know-how!

I have windows XP, with AVG paid-for av. Popups are blocked but these advert sites keep appearing :-( Also, the system is incredibly slow, frequently freezes and often we get the 'Internet Explorer has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close...' AV and spybot scans appear clear so I'm at a bit of a loss now... :hair:

Any help would be appreciated!
