My system is up-to-date. This is not a local virus, this is a scamming ad on ATS. There is no virus present, until it is installed from the redirected website that the ad takes you too. The ad might also use geotargeting so that not everyone gets the ad, only a random few to keep it on the down low.

Actually, it's much better.
It just depends on the plug-ins that you choose to use.
I never get unwanted pop-ups with it.

give this a try, next time it happens.
Right click on it and copy the url and close the properties window.
Next right click on Internet Security Settings down on the right corner if your using IE
Next click Restricted sites and past the url you had copied, I think that may cure your problem IMHO.
good luck
