When you say popups m8, do you mean like adds popping up on your desktop even when your not connected to the internet?If so you might have adware or spyware on your system, you mentioned AVG antivirus/spycatcher but do you have a firewall running if not you could try zonealarms they offer a free one? try and download Spybot search and destroy its free and it removes most spyware, well its worth a try.

Here is a link:

ZoneAlarm Free Download

You could try installing SpywareBlaster. It dosen't remove spyware, but prevents most of it from ever being installed.
