How do I get rid of a virus on my computer?

Yes, the boyfriend was looking at gaggers.com and a pop up came up to say "you have a virus, scan now" and the ignorant man hit "scan" and now I have that adware virus thing which will not let me visit any other site. Any help? And no smart comments please.
