FR as no pop-ups.
If you are getting pop-ups, it is because some other website or software is intiating them.
You probably need to do some computer maintenance: cleaning your registry, running virus scan, running spyware scan, etc.

What are the contents in the pop-ups? That could help in isolating how and where they are originating.
unfortunately I didn’t write down what the ads were but they seemed mainstream. They did prohibit me from clicking on any links or otherwise navigating. I had to reload the page several times to log in and post before the ads (banner style with 2 vertical ads) popped up again.
