Did you try disabling the pop ups in Chrome?

Use an Ad-blocker
Try this for Chrome:

Also, it sounds like you have installed either spyware or a dodgy toolbar extension in your web browser.
Go into your browsers settings and check what extensions you have installed.
You can also do another spyware scan with another anti-virus program. You can't install 2 different anti-virus programs on the same computer, so run the 2nd one from a live CD. Here's a link for one:

Check which programs you have installed on your computer too.
If all else fails then perhaps use System Restore to restore your computer back to a previous time before the adverts started happening:

You have malware, which most anti virus software won't detect or clear. Get Malwarebytes @ http://www.malwarebytes.org. Download, install, when you start it say no to the trial to use the free version, update it, then run a full system scan. Deal with any issues it reports.

I have Anvi AD blocker: http://www.anvisoft.com/product/anviadblocker.html developed by Anvisoft who also developed Anvi Smart Defender. So I think its trustworthy. By the way, the tool is free and runs without installation. Simply download and run it.

Looks like a virus
Scan with spybot search and destroy (run spybot as admin)
Scan with malwarebytes
Scan with tdsskiller
Scan with ccleaner
Google the programs, there all free
Good luck
