    pop up ads

    A good ad blocker definitely helps..Tracking blockers are great as well.

    Personally I use uBlock Origin and Ghostery browser extensions/add-ons.

    Also go through your browser's settings and adjust them to your wishes. For example, block 3rd party cookies etc.

    Suggestion to read:



    In addition you might want to run some scans with Malwarebytes, Emsisoft, see this

    List of Malware Removal Tools

    and AdwCleaner, see here:

    You might also want to reset your browser, see if you have any weird extensions/add-ons...
