“Did you try turning it off and back on?”

Seriously: Reboot. Should resolve itself.

Most pop-ups eventually try to sell you their solution to some problem you might never know about if they hadn’t told you.

Are the popups marked with a "McAfee" or "Kaspersky" logo?   If so, they may be fake popups.   Google "fake mcafee popups" for information.

Look at your Task Manager and see if Detect Safe Browsing is running, and stop it, then check your start-up programs and make sure it isn’t on start-up.

Go to control panel and remove the program.

Detect Safe Browsing

The Detect Safe Browsing App Will Be Going Away on June 22 On June 22, 2022, Hanscom FCU will no longer be supporting Easy Solutions Detect Safe Browsing, something you may have previously installed on your computer. The functionality of the app is replicated in most major antivirus/security software on the market, which can cause some conflict issues.

We are asking our members to uninstall the Detect Safe Browsing from their computers prior to June 22.

“ I D ten T”

LOL. It’s rare that see/hear that elsewhere. Very rare, even spanning 30 years.

The various anti-virus programs I have used all have had the ability to integrate into your web browser to protect you from going to bad sites.
