I think it depends on which browser you use.

For Chrome: Click the Chrome menu (3 horizontal bars) on the browser toolbar.
Select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings.
In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button.
In the "Pop-ups" section, click Manage exceptions and add www.pogo.com

In IE click on the gear
Go to Internet Options and click on PRIVACY
Where you have the box checked for Popup Blocker click on SETTINGS and add www.pogo.com under sites to allow.

I don't use Firefox but I imagine it is the same. Here is the link to Pogo's test: http://www.pogo.com/misc/popup-blocker-test.jsp

does anyone every get any boxes popping up saying to update your window drivers or I get one that says I have internet explorer 7 and I should update my browser? since I just got this computer two months ago,i believe it came with internet explorer 10 on it..i don't know why I get those other pop up boxes..i hate to click on something and it would be some kind of spyware or something to get a virus from?
I get the one asking me to update drivers. Often it's accompanied with "Urgent". Not sure if it's a scam or what it is, but until I have a problem I'm not dealing with it.

I get other crap but nothing like you've described, MistyE.  I think you're wise to be suspicious.

Did you get the free upgrade to Windows 8.1? I really dislike Windows 8 and Microsoft is determined to make you use IE with it. I use Chrome and love it for Pogo and have made it my default browser. If you insist on IE you can go here to get older versions of Java but it just could be that the new Java was corrupt. In any case you will need to remove Java completely before installing a new one:

I'm a bit confused with this issue (always confused anyway, lol). My niece tells me she now has a laptop with win/8.1 and it has 2 screens. One for the Desktop and another one. This other one will not allow her to install Java but she's been told that she can download Java on the Desktop screen. Whereas she's away running her business in the last while I haven't been in touch with her again on this issue. I hope someone can figure this out .. it was going to be my next purchase...? Thanks.

Do you ever run ccleaner? It has a icon to the side stating registry that removes and fixes things so that they run easier. Worth a try. I use it once a month after I have run my Microsoft Essentials and Spybot so that I have covered all bases before I backup my computer.

It really sounds like you got some sort of corrupted java when you did the update. I would remove all of your javas and try again.

I use chrome for everything. If I need to double browse I use firefox because I hate IE and all it's updates with windows etc..too many glitches in it for my taste. I have java 7.5.1 and Pogo using  chrome works perfectly....Hope you get yours working right soon..

Try a different browser like Chrome of FireFox, etc.

Also, try going back to your last Java, like system restore before it was installed.
