Hi mccainm74
Welcome to the Community Forums.
WSA does not itself contain any popup ad blocking features and to block these you will need to install a 3rd party popup blocker as an extension to your browser(s). We can recommend some suitable extensions as follows:
For Internet Explorer Ad Block Plus: https://adblockplus.org/
For Firefox uBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?src=ss or Privacy Badger: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/privacy-badger-firefox/
Google Chrome uBlock: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en or Privacy Badger: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-badger/pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp
Hope this helps and if not please get back to us, especially if you need assistance with how to get these and then install them, or if you have installed the blocker and are still getting popups.
