one popup at an internet site isnt something to worry about, worry when you start seeing porn popups and other ad popups while hardly even accessing websites

What you probably have is "Scare Ware". If it is telling you that you have many viruses and malware on your system, then don't click on it. Download Malwarebytes, update it and run a full system scan.

IE does not have exceptional "3rd party" blocking. For that reason, and many other security related ones (especially 'active scripting' rubbish), it should not be used except for sub-standard websites or Windows updates...but if you must know:
INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:
here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' & 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.
