How do you remove the Bestseller Antivirus malware?

I keep getting popups regarding purchasing the Bestseller Antivirus, and a google search reveals that this is malware. I have tried everything I can think of (spyware removal, etc) to remove this, but short of reformatting, I can not think of anything else. Can anyone help me?
