Someone please help me get rid of these $#&@^$ pop-ups!!!!

My niece and her friend were over this weekend and I let them use my laptops to IM their friends. Well they went to this website called dollchick.com and now I have all KINDS of crap on my computers (one of which is my WORK laptop!)
DH and I managed to get most of the stuff off, but I'm still getting pop-ups. I used Ad-Aware and did a deep scan while in safe mode (and not connected to the internet) but that didn't get it all.

Help!!!

I second spybot. And after you run Spybot then download and run'Hijack this'

Then uninstall Kazaa completely if you have it. (spybot will kill kazaa anyway)
