Non killable Pop Ups

Please help. I have suddenly picked up something which is bombarding my PC with pop up's, they often come in flurries and it means I can't use Word too well as when they appear the input focus moves to the pop up window.

There seems to be no requirement to have IE running, nor to be connected to the internet. Using Win XPPro, am on NTL broadband

I have run Ad-Aware several times, both when the PC is running and set for when it boots up.

Similarly SpyBot and PestControl.

They detect and delete registry entries etc. for PurityScan. I have done a www search for that and my symptoms match exactly. Have followed all the advice on how to delete and manually delete that I found online.

Have done a Symantec Virus search and the TrendMicro, both come up clean.

I have the firewall in place and messenger disabled, System Restore off.

Have done everything I can think of to rid myself of this bug but it has proven very persistant and I'm approaching my wits end.

Any thoughts anyone? Please!?
