Recently I have been bombarded with popups and spyware. I ran adaware, spybot and avast. I deleted the things it found, but everytime I run it there are 12 or so items that it finds the next day.

Now I can't even open the internet. Everytime I open it I get the error reporting message, where it asks if I want to send the error report to Microsoft.

Also, one of the programs found win32revop.b trojan, which I THINK I took care of. I am just really not a compouter wiz and don't really know what I am doing.

Do I need to take it in somewhere and have it all wiped clean?

I have Windows XP and we use IE.

ANy suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not already, use SpywareBlaster to stop your PC from getting infected in the first place. Make sure you update it immediately and enable the protections relevant to your browser.

SpywareBlaster

SpywareBlaster is for prevention; it doesn't remove malware.

For removal, try these two utilities and see if they find something Ad-Aware and Spybot missed.
