[Popups don't open]
I've run Ad-aware, and it didn't find anything. I also have Symantec
Antivirus, and it's not found anything.
Chances are that Symantec Antivirus or something related to it is the
problem (a popup blocker). Disk Doctor and Speed Disk aside, it appears to
be best not to use software that carries the Symantec label, particularly
not security-related software.
Deinstall it and replace it with a better scanner (such as Avira AntiVir).
Your system may also have been compromised by malware that neither Ad-Aware
nor Symantec Antivirus detected (which would not be surprising). Have you
updated your Ad-Aware and Antivirus signatures regularly, particularly
before scanning the system? Apply Spybot Search & Destroy and Rootkit
Revealer, too, the latter before everything else.
If you found something, you better set up your system from scratch[1]. From
this point forward you probably wouldn't be running Windows with
Administrator privileges again, which is the default setup. And you
wouldn't be using a seven year old browser again for anything but testing
Web sites.

Further questions regarding this are very likely on-topic elsewhere.
I think that I was able to reproduce the problem, using a small HTML
page with Javascript for opening a new window: [...]
Which is not even Valid to begin with, so it can't prove anything.
<http://validator.w3.org/>
<a href="javascript:load()">Open Window</a>
Please read the FAQ <http://jibbering.com/faq/> on why not to do that.
