Hi Papito
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
WSA does not include a popup blocker per se although it will deal with the source of one type of popup; those that are generated by PUAs or Potential Unwanted Applications.  However, it is possible that the popups that yo are seeing are not caused by PUAs but rather by advertising in browser.
 
Would you be able to advise as to exactly when yo are seeing the popups, i.e., if they occur when you have a browser open or not, and also if there is any tell tale information in the popups that might indicate the source, etc.
 
Many than ks in anticipation.
 
Regards, Baldrick
