Windows 10: Short and or full page of pop-ups

While I'm working on a genealogy program I keep getting these pop-ups and sometimes a full page of it. It's annoying. I've never had them before, where it just started the beginning of this week. I've gone in all the "security" to make sure that the pop-ups are blocked and they are. So could it be a malware? I use Microsoft malware and another one Malwarebytes. I sure hope you can help me. Also, I did read some of the comments but how do you read what answers are given?
