Make sure PopupProtect is installed properly and is working. To check this, double-click on the PopupProtect icon in the system tray. If the program is working you will see a list of Popups blocked to date. If it shows nothing, uninstall the program and reinstall.

If it is working, and you are still experiencing a large amount of Popup ads even when you are not on your browser, you most likely have a spyware virus or parasite on your computer. The virus would have been placed on your computer by an advertiser, and would cause ads to Popup continually on your screen.
