What kind of pop ups? Is there any indication where they are from? By that I mean if there is a box around the ad, is there a name associated with the box?
Does your ad blocker still leave an empty box where the ad should be?

No.
Your problem is most likely with your computer (malware) then this site.

My guess is something has downloaded itself to your computer.
I had the pop up thing on here one time. I found a program had downloaded on my computer. I deleted it, ran a scan, rebooted and all was fine.

Thumbs up

I had problems with popup videos on this site that drove me crazy. Someone recommended that I download adblock and since I did that I don't get anymore videos. Adblock is free but I donated to them because I'm so happy with the results I am getting.

We have had the hosting company scan the server and the site and it has come back clean and we previously posted those results. Please run an anti malware software, clear your cookies and cache and restart your computer.

Best Regards,
