My computer has been fine for a long time. Just a few days ago, not long after I installed the newest update for Java...I began having problems with popup ads. Usually if I'm using the computer they'll popup in the background and disappear, but when I get back on my computer after it hasn't been used for a while, I will see ads on the screen. For some reason IEXPLORE.EXE is running at all times in the background. I use Firefox and very rarely will use IE. When I try to remove the process, it disappears and then starts running again just seconds later. The popup ads that popup are always in IE, even though I'm running Firefox.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I did get an error about a file called "UPNP.exe"

Now there is a voice in the background that every few minutes will start to talk saying that I have "won a free iPod nano." It is extremely annoying. I've run adaware, AVG, and Spybot S&D and still this is not fixed. Any help is appreciated! I have run ComboFix, Adaware, AVG, Spybot S&D, and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware...and I still have problems.

Here is my HijackThis log:
