Keep getting them, I have run adaware and have a popup stopper, also have McAfee etc. Anyone know why they keep poping up? Its usually something saying 'Save' or 'Warning'.

If you are running xp then it sounds as if the buggers are exploiting xp messenger. Nice way for them to bypass firewalls etc. Disable it is the best approach.
Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services - Messenger
Right click Messenger and look for Startup type. Set this to disabled and that will stop those annoying popups.

...try those two.
Sometimes, Adaware is unable to find/isolate stuff. (Note however, that Search&Destroy will detect Adaware as spyware, least that´s how it used to be in some earlier versions).
Also, use a firewall when you´re surfing (the MacAfee is a Virus scanner I assume?!)
