FAQ # 1:   HOW TO GET RID OF THOSE ANNOYING POPUPS: 

POSSIBLE CAUSES & SOLUTIONS: 

It is likely that the annoying popup is activated locally in the "client" computer.  Meaning that the popup is generated from either a cookie in your computer or a small (malicious) snippet (a small software application) that attempts to run in the background.  Or it could be a malicious snippet already running in the background of your computerm ready toi be triggered.  These cookies or snippets could be triggered by anything, depending on how it was coded.... Your computer gets unwanted cookies and snippets if you surf at some specific websites in the internet, download some software in the internet with embedded an snippet, or by opening an unwanted, unsolicited, or unexpected attachment in an email you received.   

If turned off, you may need to "turn on the popup blocker" of your browser to see if that will alleviate the annoying popup.  It may also be necessary to run your anti-virus software, or/and anti-spam, or an internet security suite software - one or more of these applications should be running in your computer in the background at all times.... Otherwise, your computer is unprotected and vulnerable....  Another important maintennance practice that you can do is to update periodically your Operating System (OS) security, e.g., Microsoft Windows XP or Vista.  The MIcrosoft Windows XP OS has a built-in "automatic Update" feature that should be turned on (I preferred thee automatic update turned on).  This feature will keep your OS up-to-date from Microsoft if you are using Microsoft OS.... There are other ways to remove those unwanted popup blocker.... The TrendMicro Internet Security Suite is one reocmmendation.
