Why is Google chrome failing to prevent pop-ups?

These mod's will help boost security & privacy, plus resolve the intrusions: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131031142409AAZGnI6 AdBlockPlus is good, but since Google bought it, they rigged it to allow their ads...so it must be modified as well. http://www.ghacks.net/2013/07/31/how-to-configure-adblock-plus-malware-social-media-button-and-tracking-blocking/

You aren't getting pop-ups, you're getting spammed with ads. If you own a PC and go on YouTube without an adblocker, well, oh boy. Download Adblock for Chrome here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon and hopefully your "pop-ups" will be gone. A lot of people seem to confuse the two.

download malwarebytes free and check off the pro version when installing it at the end. Do a deep scan and clean the system by check every item it has found and deleting them. Also Ccleaner might help but pop ups are adware and malwares also in the chrome settings tick off the field about accelerating mode or something like that ... its one of the last options in the advanced settings Adblock plus is another software you should not need if the system is clean, you're not curing the problem, just blocking the symptoms.
