Pop ups of Google Chrome?

Question

I currently have a gaming computer. And I use Google Chrome for my web browser. Every time I going to a site it says my Java is outdated it is really getting annoying it is a pop up I guess and when I try to exit out of it it says on the bottom that it starts to download things and I have to close the tab before it completely downloaded it. Sometimes it also opens up another tab saying to download Java. I'm pretty sure that it is A fake website to try to get you to download a virus. How do I stop it from doing this? If I have to download a pop up resister or whatever it is I will surely do so.  Please send me a link if so I need to get rid of this before it starts harming my computer. I have antivirus things that make it where I can scan my computer so I know it won't download anything but it keeps on messing up my tabs where when I click it and it makes my work go away and just brings me to a different tab. Also I have had a problem with my computer sometimes making a whole new tab. I don't click on anything it just brings it up I'm sure it's a virus website and I need to know how to stop it. I went to the settings and turned off pop up but that does not stop it.

follow my little mini malware removal guide

these days what is common are PUPs..potentially unwanted programs that gives adware that came in a bundle with something else.. .

run adwcleaner and junkware removal tool .. you can get them here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows/security-utilities/

and then do additional cleanup with MBAM
https://www.malwarebytes.org

then go check your browsers for any "bad" extensions.. remove if possible.. if none are seen, and you still have adware in your browsers, then you'll need to reset your browsers.. (google on how to reset them)..and also set homepage and search engine defaults

for virus / trojan detection that you can use in conjunction with any real time AV you have. these scan tools don't offer real time protection but are good removal tools
online scanner from eset
http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner
and / or kaspersky's avptool
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1

after it's cleaned out... install (into firefox) a popup blocker adblock plus, adblock edge and another addon called noscript. also while at malwarebytes, look at it's free anti-exploit as another form of protection

check out Baidu http://antivirus.baidu.com/en/

top rated.... extremely fast install and scans... very low on cpu usage
