fivecents: are you maybe using aol or aol exlporer browser, if so i have this as well its a part of the program, not the internet itself sometimes when something is free it has to be ad supported and since today many people have popup killers and ad killers (those using firefox) that advertizers try to embed a popup in the browser and bypass the settings and killer programs. i get this at least 1 or 2 times a week.
also its a good idea to run antivirus scan, antispyware/adaware scans aol full service software (the one that recently in past year is now free) i think still has the spyware that aol full service (26.95^) had
