James Bond gave me a virus...

A couple of months ago I logged onto a site - I think it was MI6 Confidential, actually - and I did belatedly notice a warning that it was 'safe'. For once I ignored it - it looked okay and there were some nice photos of old TVTimes cuttings of Bond films that were nostalgic.... Anyway, since then I've had pop-ups on my screen such as 'Malicious Virus Detected' and 'Notifications' - turns out these are a scam, you click on it and they try to flog you anti-virus software, nick your bank details and so on....
The pop-ups did disappear for a week or so, so I thought they'd taken the hint, but now oddly they are back with a vengeance. I delete my history, changed my passwords and so on. Can anyone recommend some free anti-software downloads or advice?
