Windows 10: I have recently been getting pop-ups on my screen from nextoptim.com

I have recently been getting pop-ups on my screen from nextoptim.com whenever I am on the Yahoo homepage, that warn me of problems with Windows Firewall, etc, and to click the link to remove the problem, which I have not done. I can close the pop-ups with program manager. I've googled the name and it's malware/scam/adverts. Tried to find it to delete from my control panel and nothing is listed when I do a search. Might this be a problem particular to using Yahoo (as it only appears when I'm on that page) or might I have a problem that I cannot yet see on my computer? My internet security program scans have revealed no problems.

Is there a simple way to adjust (change) my web site rating when I get a pop up block?

Pop ups can be distracting for some, and depending on your reference, you can disable the desktop pop ups by following these steps:

• Click Start or the Windows logo and go to Settings (gear icon).
• Go to System and choose Notification & actions.
• Under Notifications, turn off Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows or whatever you want to turn off.
