Did you download Adobe Reader off the official site? If so then that isn't the root of the problem.

Are you sure the "warnings" are real, or are they just pop-ups in IE that are made to look like real alerts?

Try Free AVG and CCleaner. These are what I use and works very well.

You should be scanning your computer of viruses at least once every 2 weeks and for spyware once per week. I usually scan before I shut down my laptop for spyware I may have collected while surfing that day.
