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?

Thanks for anyone's help!

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

FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy> top drop slot set to "Firefox will use custom settings..."> Check 'Accept Cookies from sites' &
â–ºUn-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'.

A good collection of effective security & privacy add-on's (Official Mozilla) is here:

►"AdBlock Plus" ( ☛AdBlock must now be modified: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/07/31/how-to-...-blocking/ )
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.
