OMG I was gonna say the same thing, but then didn't wanna come across sounding like an ass, lol. I've been a MAC user for the last few years and couldn't be happier. They may be more expensive, but as they say, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, and that couldn't be more true in this case.
Windows 7, LMFAO
In any case, if they want $71 (I assume you mean the "makers" of this pop up blocker), AND it won't even let you shut down your computer or remove it in the remove programs menu, I would ASSUME it's not a pop up blocker, but a virus (something we MAC users DON'T get, ever).
With that being the case, what I would try is to restart the computer in safe mode and try removing the program. Just push the power button and turn it off (i know this can be unsafe, but not really if you have everything already saved, closed, and shut down, any external drives safely shut down and disconnected, etc).
So I think each computer is different, but usually you hold a key like F5 or ESC or something while the computer is restarting to get the computer into safe more after turning it off with the power button or just plain pulling the plug (maybe someone can help here with how to get the computer into safe mode). Once in safe mode, go into add/remove programs and remove whatever it is you need to get out.
Keep in mind, this may not work if it's a virus, and you may have to actually find the .exe file that is causing the problem, which is a real pain in the ass and at which point, unless you have some computer knowledge, you might as well take it to a shop and have them do it, back up all your files and reinstall lovely windows, or just throw the thing out in the street, let it get run over by a big truck, and buy a MAC.
Hopefully this helps
