Were you able to use System Restore and go back in time before the banners appeared ?   Someone might be able to give you better advise, but at this point I would be so mad that I would either use the restore function or reformat and re-install windows.  Making sure that after windows has been reinstalled, that the  chipset driver was installed, than SP-2.  Afterwards the video card driver, all microsoft critical updates, and installing the spyware programs as well before running around the internet.

If you do a system re-installation, do the following in this order :

1.   Reformat and Re-install windows

2.   Install SP-2

3.   Install the ChipSet driver for your system ( Very important )

4.   Install the video card driver and reset the resolution afterwards to your monitor

5.   Download the Microsoft critical updates

6.   Have on had and install the spyware programs.

7.   Install all the other stuff, including your internet favorites and other programs.

8.   Do a virus check and keep the virus software up to date.

Again, if someone has a better idea after everything was checked, please let us know.
