I have changed to Chrome for a browser, thought I had all the app's I needed, but, every where I go, I keep getting pop-up ads, (on the side of screen, the top, in the body of the original page) win 7. Any suggestions? Thanks, bill

install adblock plus. It should help with most of your popups. However, if you keep getting them, you may have malware on your computer.
To get rid of those pop-up ads, you need to
1. stop its associated process in Task Manager
2. uninstall suspicious programs in Control Panel
3. clean your browser, such as unwanted extensions, cookies, browsing history, etc.
4. restart your PC to make changes
