In addition to SC Tom's suggestion to turn on the pop-up blocker, here are additional suggestions.

For INternet Explorer do this in the settings.
Internet Explorer
If you are still using an old version of Internet Explorer, follow these instructions to enable pop-up blocking:
Open Internet Explorer.
Click Tools (press the Alt key if you don't see the Tools menu option)
Click Options (or Internet options)
Click the Privacy tab
At the bottom of the Privacy tab, you should have a Pop-up Blocker section. If you want pop-ups to be blocked, check the "Block pop-ups" option (may also be titled "Turn on Pop-Up Blocker"). You can also set additional options, such as disabling sound or the info bar whenever a pop-up is blocked, by clicking the Settings button.
LASTLY, change your SEARCH ENGINE to DUCKDUCKGO
do not use google or yahoo or others as they track what you look up and then get bombarded with ads.
Make DUCKDUCKGO you search engine in addition to the other things mentioned above.
