pop-up ad 

A window that pops up on the screen suddenly, often without warning, advertising something. Nobody ever actually buys what the pop-up is advertising. They're just annoying pieces of crap. Some people create ones that install malware or other unwanted files onto a user's computer.

In other words, an embodiment of Satan.
I clicked the download button for a file on Megaupload and a pop-up ad came up advertising a free iPad. I knew it had to be a scam, so I tried to close it, but it wouldn't close. So I had to close Firefox in Task Manager, but that closed ALL running Firefox processes, not just the pop-up ad. Freakin' annoying.

Some fucking stupid shit that shows up every time your about to search something and you click on the ad because it popped up out of fucking no where.

pop-up ads 

1. Ads that no single person would even consider considering. Why must they even exist?
2. Synonymous to the words 'annoying', 'blinding', 'frustrating' and 'crash'.
