Your best bet is to install a good ad blocker/popup blocker. To block popups and other ads of your choice, consider the suggestions at http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/lockdownyourpc/ss/blockingpopups.htm. For all major browsers, a very good free product is Adblock Plus together with its optional Element Hiding Helper.
