probably those adds are coming from your computer, not from the internet. run antispyware scan and if you don't have antispyware try spyware doctor, it really powerful tool:

Your PC is infected with adware. Use these free scans to remove it. Both are free and safe to use. A pop up blocker wont help when a PC is infected.
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.

its depends on where your at. if your on a page and its a pop-up thats just on the page don't worry aboout it. if its a pop-up that opens in a new window then you probably have to just x it out. yah its annoying but you have to deal

You have adware! Get rid of it by using adaware SE or Spybot S&D (actually use both!)
