Q: have I got / help removing adware?

Hi

I've had a couple of pop-ups on my mac (10.6.8) today, which I have ignored.

- "Type your password to allow google earth update helper.app to make changes"
- "type your password to allow installer to make changes"

- I have not downloaded any programs, only a couple of PDF documents.
- I have read some emails for my dad from his webmail account but have not opened any attached files / documents (he appears to have adware on his MAC).

- If I do have adware or other, how best do I remove it....
- Could my MAC then also have other issues, keyloggers, spyware.
- If I go back and use my Time Machine program from say a week earlier, will that eliminate said adware....

 

cheers

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
