Popup Adds

Something on this site has for the past few days occasionally given me popups to random sites. I've been closing them immediately and virus checking my computer, and fortunately I'm clean. So, I'm wondering if there's an advertiser that's violating this site's rules.
Sorry for complaining, but if there is a problem, we should fix it. Most people when they see popups assume that they're on a site of poor repute.

This is what happened when I tried to navigate away from the page.

I think it's trying to give my a virus/scam me. I didn't get a screencap of this (because by this point I had to purposefully crash firefox) but another popup showed up called "Internet Payday)
*Edit: I'm not getting them on specific pages. I got them on the Hipster page, and on the forums.

Ok, I've thoroughly checked my computer; I don't have a virus. If must be coming from somewhere inside the site, as I've never seen it here.
It generally pops up when you load a new page. I got one while I was on youtube too, so now I'm wondering if my browser has just been corrupted. I'm reinstalling it and lets see if the problem goes away.
