You might be infected with adware and spyware.
Get Ad Aware SE from http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html and
Spybot Search And Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ or from http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html
And do complete scans as soon as possible

Thise kinds of pop ups means you have adware on your PC.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
Try this scan, its free, it removes
I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Looks like someone had access to a pornography site, you either need to get a spyware/adware remover. or reboot the whole computer...another option is to put a child proof program to prevent access to such things.

Make sure you scan for spyware, and use several different ones too. There's a list of free ones here if you need it

That site shouldn't give you popups, there is most likely adware installed.
download and scan with ad-aware

download and scan with spybot
http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
scan with a online scanner like Panda

try a good firewall like sygate

or zonealarm
