[quote=qwan456]Hmm, that first image you got shows a popup from "Bizcoaching.info", which may be an indicator that your computer is infecting by a type of malware: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/bizcoaching-info-virus-removal/

I just noticed the site name on the popups is different in the different screenshots.
Agreed- a Malwarebytes scan is always a good idea when something unusual like this happens.

Doesn't look like actual ad but more like malware to me honestly Adblock is quite reliable... never had an issue with it myself and since that thing looks repeditive (and really seems to pick words and make it look appealing ("the best maplestory?&quot) I don't think it's an ACTUAL ad cause nobody would make an actual ad for something that doesn't even exist...

Those popups may not be filtered yet in the AdBlock filter subscription, or you may have AdBlock set to allow some ads.

Click the AdBlock "stop sign" icon in your browser address bar, then click "Filter Preferences".
On the left side under the window there's a check-box that says "Allow some non-intrusive advertising".
Make sure that box is UNCHECKED so it will block ALL ads.

If that doesn't fix it, you can add individual filters to block the remaining ads that pop up.
In the case of the second screenshot above, the site that's referenced is "BrandProfiles.com".
Click the Adblock "stop sign" icon again and click "Filter Preferences".

This time click the "Custom Filter" tab on the left, then click the "Add Filter" button on the far right.
In the blank box that opens below, type in "BrandProfiles.com" and hit Enter.
This will add that site to the list of sites AbBlock will block.

See if that stops those popups.
If not, it'll take a little deeper investigation into exactly what's triggering them, but the process is similar to the above.
You just need to identify the site the ads are coming from and add them to the AdBlock Filter Preference page so they can be blocked.

In the case of the blank page that opens, AdBlock is actually working.
It's blocking the ad that's supposed to fill in that pop-up page.

You need NoScript (a different add-on for Firefox) to block the script that's causing the popup window to open.
(It might help in the case of the BrandProfile popups too.)
NoScript will selectively block the javascript that sites try to run on your computer, sometimes for ads, sometimes for evil purposes.

Unfortunately, setting up NoScript can be somewhat daunting, but it might be worth a try.
I finally stopped bothering with it because of it's possible unintended side-effects that were taking just too long to diagnose.

If you're using Chrome, NotScripts. I think FF has the same plug-in, don't know for sure.

Press Ctrl+Shift+F in Firefox and it will open up the ABP Filter Preference. Click on Add Filter subscription and add one of the Easylist filter.

Get the Adblock Plus add-on for your Google Chrome browser. http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/details?hl=en-US

Adblock! Look for an extension or add-on if you have Chrome or Firefox.
