I decided to look into my /etc/hosts file as the word DNS kept cropping up in most of my findings. I discovered that my /etc/hosts file formatting was off with my local site names displaying on lines not preceded by with number 127.0.0.1. So i reformatted and since then the pop-up ads have stopped. I will investigate further and confirm it's the cause.
