I am getting pop up tabs, where can I go to stop them? Spam tabs just open while I am browsing?

I get several tabs during the day.. Most are saying I won a wal-mart gift card, or something similar. Then when I close it I get a pop up asking if I'm sure I want to navigate away from the page.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
