Hi there. If you could share some details, that would make it alot easier to pin-point the problem. Maybe someone else got a better idea, but the only thing I can recommend is for you at this moment is to go to Preferences -> Security -> turn on "Block pop-up windows". That will globally block any pop-up. Now, that might not be a permanent solution, but it could help.

It's turned on.. any other suggestions?

What kind of popups are you getting? A screenshot example would be nice.

And, are you running adblock?

Just random popups look below snaps:





No I'm not running any adblock app.

I never ever seen any popups on my computers. But I do run adblockplus.

I'd start by checking what extensions are installed in safari. Maybe one of them is an ad extension or a fishy one that popups like this.

And btw, when has this started to happen? Perhaps you can track back to something you installed that day.

It's likely you've got some malware on your Mac.

Please can you post a screenshot of your Applications and we'll be able to tell you if any are malicious & need removing.
