    Try following this guide. It should remove most if not all of your issues.

    First of all, check your plug-ins list for unknown plug-ins. Remove any, then restart.

    If the pop-ups are still there, you might want to look for adwares on your computer. You can easily do this by opening C:\Program Files and look for any software you don't recognise, or seems to be an advertisment software. Remove any, restart your computer and wish the bests.

    If the problem persists, you might want to consider to look for an anti-malware software, that features removing such programs.

    Hope it helped.
