Way OT: Advertising spyware on computer

I have been getting a bunch of pop-up advertisements lately, i run pop-up stopper to reduce the effects, but sometimes i need to turn it off. When the pop up ad appears i notice that there is a rundll32 listed in the open programs box (when i hit control-alt-delete). It appears that there is some rogue program installed on my computer that causes this problem. I run Lavasoft's Ad-Aware program, but this doesn't detect them.
This said, is there a way to search out these rogue programs on my harddrive? This is driving me nuts, I leave the computer for an hour and 15 ads are up on the screen.
Thanks,
Andrew
