How to Kill Popup Ads
Pop-up ads are advertisements that open in another window, often popping up over your main Web browser window. These ads can be disruptive to your browsing experience, and too many pop-up ads may cause your computer to run slowly or crash due to memory requirements. Most browsers offer pop-up blocking settings so you can filter some of these ads out.
