Pop up and technical computer problems, please help!?
Alright, I use Google Chrome as my default browser. I already went into the settings and disabled pop-ups, and I even have two different pop-up blockers installed. However, whenever go to a new page or I click in the search boxes of pages like Google or Yahoo, a page similar to this pops up: 

http://static.icmwebserv.com/blank2.html...0000%22%7D

The webpages that pop up seemingly always try to get me to upgrade something, or they say that something is out of date. Why are they occurring, and how do I stop them? All answers in an attempt to help are appreciated!

when adware is installed, no popup blocker will work. scan your computer with malwarebytes and see if there is adware on your system, if so delete it.

Firstly
Download, install and update Spybot Search & Destroy.

If that doesn't work you may want to block these websites using Chrome Net Nanny described below:
1: Open Google Chrome and click the "Tools" button (the button looks like a wrench).

2 : Select "Extensions" when the menu opens. A window opens with a list of the extensions installed to Chrome.

3: Click "Get more extensions" to search for Chrome Nanny. When the Google Chrome extensions page opens, type "Chrome Nanny" into the extension search bar located at the top of the page and press "Enter."

4: Click "Chrome Nanny" in the search results and then click "Install" on the Chrome Nanny extension page.

5: Click "Install" when a box pops up asking if you want to install the extension. Chrome Nanny installs to Google Chrome, and a button for Chrome Nanny is placed next to the address bar.

6: Right-click over the Chrome Nanny button and click "Options." A new tab opens to a page that gives you the option to add websites you want to block using Chrome Nanny.

7: Enter a name for the URL or group of URLs you want to block in the field next to "Block Set Name." For example, if you want to block game websites, you may want to enter "Blocked Games" in the field.

8: Enter the URLs you want to block in the URLs form. Press "Enter" after you enter a URL to add another URL on the next line.

9: Enter the time you want the URLs blocked using military time. For example, you may want to block certain websites only in the morning. If you want to block a website at all times, enter "0000-2359."

10: Select the days you want to block the URLs.
Check the box next to every day if you want to block the URL continuously.

11: Click "Save URL." The URLs you entered are now blocked on the Google Chrome Web browser.
Hope this helps.
