You need to be specific
Popups from your av that it has updated Popups from an email client PopUps from malware client Popups from Windows control center Popups in a browser Popups from the Metro interface or any Metro apps etc etc Ask the Mods to move it to the computing forum |

Use AdBlocker, but beware. All the stuff on the web has to be paid for somehow, and a lot of sites are funded by ad revenue from those pop-ups. Some sites sense when an AdBlocker is installed and give you snotty little messages about restricting access.
In the end nothing is really "free". You and I wouldn't expect to work for nothing, would we. So if we want a rich and varied web browsing experience then we probably have to accept that ad revenue is one way in which it is funded. Either that, or it's pay-per-view which I don't think anyone wants. Having said all that, I will add that this site has an annoying habit of putting floating ads over the text I want to read, so my AdBlocker filter is active for this site simply because it's not usable for me any other way. |
