Pop ups are very annoying, especially the inappropriate pop ups that appear out of nowhere. They can be very disruptive when you are working on a particular task, and little info-bubbles keep appearing, distracting you from the task at hand. Luckily, removing inappropriate pop ups in Windows 7 is easy, and only takes the tweaking of a few settings on your computer.
