I have done all the things listed in You Must Read This Before Posting a HijackThis Log. In addition, I have installed AMUST 1-Defender and use avast! on-access antivirus protection; and I installed and ran Spybot, SpywareBlaster, and Rogue Remover (the last didn't detect any items).
The popups were originally ads and download suggestions, especially when I ran malware detection programs; now they read Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage, so something's working but not eliminating the popup window itself.
My HJT log is as follows:
