Im pretty sure I got a virus on my computer :(

I was on AOL IM and a new screen from one of my buddies popped up and said "do you mind if I use this picture of you for my myspace?" so I clicked on the link. It saved it as pic 002 on my computer, and then I deleted it. Now my computer is super slow, Im getting pop up ads like crazy, and when it first starts a table pops up and says text 1 at the top. What do I do?

Install AND update once a week, an Anti-Virus program and spyware program. You may have spyware worms doing nasty stuff to your pc. I have Norton Anti-Virus and Firewall. For spyware, I use Spyware Detector, which costs $29.95... Well worth it! A free one that is decent is Ad-Aware Personal SE...
