I am getting a bunch of pop-up ads. Most of them show up in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Others are full-screen.
One of them appears to be generated when I click on a Baptist Board link.
Questions: Where do they come from? Can I disable them? If so, how?
They are really starting to bug me.

Thanks, RevMitchell. It helped.
I use Firefox as my main browser and found a way to reset it to an earlier default setting, and that also seems to have fixed the problem. -

I use adblock for firefox and I do not see add one for the BB. I am completely ad free.

Some sites can now have pop ups within their page that you can't close. As you scroll the ad will follow you. I was at a computer manufacturer site the other day and had one that would not go away - wanting me to chat with them. They had asked me to do a survey through another pop up and I had said yes. Finally out of frustration because I could not read about their product due to the chat window - I took the survey and told them I had come there to buy a product but could not read the information due to their wanting to chat - told them they lost a sale because they did. ???? not sure what these website programmers are thinking sometimes.
