I purchased anti-virus/spy removal software and downloaded it, but they still keep popping up. My OS won't let my download IExplorer 7, so I can't go into internet options and click block pop-ups b/c my IExplorer is so old. :(

download the best browser EVER!
www.firefox.com
www.mozilla.com
built in pop up blocker and much much nicer than IExplorer
How to get rid of pop-ups?spyware
the software you mentioned doesn't go after popups, try adaware se, update it and run. internet options can be found in control panel. and quit going to iffy sites.
you need adaware....make sure you keep it updated....
have you updated IE to at least IE6 (98 and ME 'should' be able to use this version of IE at least, but i cant remember)? SP 2 for IE6 has built in pop-up blockers.. and a few of the better known toolbars (yahoo and google) had pop up blockers built into them as well.. or you could try firefox (link to firefox main page below)
at the very least, you should get a spyware scanner or 2.. my personal recommendations are ad-aware and spybot search and destroy (you can download both at download.com, and are free for personal use, though you do have the option to pay for an upgrade to ad-aware and donate to spybot)
