Probably not "real" popups. If they are you might have excepted some sites.

More probably either flash, or some sort of mock pop-up.

I'd suggest Adblock Pro plugin, or you could try:

I don't like Ad blocking in general, as it breaks some sites, and
prevents some advertising supported services making money, on the other
hand if some advertisers are going to be too annoying...
