These are not common popups that can be stopped by "Block popup windows" under Content on the Tools Options tab.
These are INSIDE the window itself. The are timed, counting down from about 10 seconds before they can even be clicked off. They are major company ads, not spam type stuff.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
