If you are using Internet Explorer, you will find you have a lot less trouble with ads and pop-ups if you choose Firefox or Opera.
While I definitely can't promise you'll never see another pop-up, they have built-in pop-up blockers so you will see a lot less. You can also turn off JavaScript, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that unless you are an advanced user because it can break banking sites, etc.
With Firefox you can install an Adblock extension, so that you will not see any ads popup or otherwise.

It is very likely your computer is infected with adware/spyware which is responsible for the annoying popups. If you have an anti spyware application installed on your computer, now is a good time to scan it. If you don't, there are plenty of free anti spyware programs which you can use. I recommend Lavasoft's Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy; both can be found at (http://www.filehippo.com/software/antispyware/). Install the programs, update it and run a scan. Be sure to quarantine any suspicious files.
If you want instructions on how to use them, go to
1. Ad Aware (http://www.download.com/How-to-use-Ad-Aware/1200-2023_4-5157520.html?tag=morehowto)
2. Spybot (http://www.download.com/1200-2023_4-5157526.html)
