Hi boopygirl,

You should try some good pop you blocker on the same. Try with a different browser like Google chrome which has some good pop up blocker.

Also, ensure there are no malware infection on the system:

hi there
In the end I had to phone my security software provider (Norton) and they took control and it took them over 2 hours to fix it but it all looks good now.
