Hello and Welcome to the Community Forum, @ 
 
 
These are Scam popups, Try resetting your browser or browsers and clear your cache.
 
To help with these issues it's best to install an Ad Blocker for your Browsers:
 
For Firefox Adblock Edge: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/?src=ss
 
For Chrome µBlock : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/%C2%B5block/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?utm_source=ch...
 
For Internet Explorer Del Ad 15 day trial: http://www.delad.com/en/
 
So I would suggest to use one of the other Browsers as the Ad Blockers are free.
 
Edit What browser are you using and I can help you clear your cookies and history or reset your browser if you need help.
 
 
Hope this helps and if not please get back to us!

Hi ZuniKiva
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
One supplementary question...on top of what Sherry has asked; do you only get the popups when trying to use your browser or do they also appear when you do not have a browser open?
