Administrating a mail server for multiple domains, I've noted a lot of spam for/from those domains, too. Those popups are most likely Javascript from the sites you visit. So to get rid of them, don't go to those sites – or disable Javascript for them, or use an Ad Blocker (or a browser that has such integrated). | |
