To stop those pop ups get a firewall such as zonealarm. Look in software world for another similar post.

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
