I'm running Windows 7, Using Firefox as my browser. AVG is my antivirus, My firewall is the one that came with Windows 7.
How do I stop the pop up videos and other pop ups?

you can go to the settings and i don't know that much about firefox but you'll find disable pop-outs option.

â–º At minimum, get the #1 item for malware prevention: "NoScript", which constrains automagically fetching & deployment of potentially tainted assets, and offsets the Microsoft forced install if it's rubbish.

i had that exact same problem two days ago.
if it's buzzsearch then you have to go to control panel then click uninstall a program.
then scroll until you find the program causing the pop ups then click it and it should uninstall.
