Didn't realize there were popups, I don't use crappy browsers like internet explorer. I use Mozilla Firefox. I don't get popups. ever... but, I just viewed it in IE and I didn't get any popups.. So perhaps you have spyware installed on your box dude. Get something like mcafee internet security 6 or ad-aware from lavasoftusa.com, there are many ad-ware removing softwares. I have a feeling the one you have may be detecting something like hook.dll or other such spyware files that are resident in memory and randomly pop up windows.
I don't know, just a theory.

To confirm the above you could try turning off the wsysiwyg editor in your options and see if that helps.

Doesn't happen to me. I use Adsgone popup blocker. The best one out there IMO.
