spyware popups???

[Kat]

Hi all,
We just bought a new windows XP computer maybe three months ago.
Running great, have Internet explorer, cable modem (always on),
router, firewall (sygate), norton antivirus, message killer, Google
popup killer etc. About three weeks ago I started getting popups. They
advertise everything from aol to vitamins and it only says "Internet
explorer" in its header box. I have tried everything to track this
thing down. It also seems tailored. For instance if I go to Amazon, it
popsup with maybe book/cd related ads etc.
Nothing I've tried has worked on blocking these things and I get them
all day long!! Also, sometimes my searches get re-directed to this
site called incredifind.com. Does anyone know what the heck is
happening and how I can stop this once and for all? Oh so
frustrated!!!
TIA soo much,
Kate
