Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

I eliminated this problem when I stopped using live weatherbug. Weatherbug uses their own browser and there is no way to stop popups when their browser is running. I deleted their software and now get my live weather from other sourses.
