Kill "Spykiller" pop ups?

I recently downloaded a program called spykiller that looks for spyware and then deletes them unfortunatley I didn't know it costmoney to use so I uninstalled the software using the Add or Remove programs option on my Win 98 sec edition and now I get these pop adds from Spykiller saying I need to download there software to get rid of pop ups and the spyware on my computer.. How do I get rid or there pop ups that seem tobe installed on my computer? Is there a free program or a registry I need to access to clean out?

I don't have any experience with Spykiller but I would guess that if you uninstalled it then ran Spybot and Adaware that would take care of your problem.
