I can't stop new pages of ads opening on explorer

[djevansuk]

Please help me. I have all my privacy settings on high, I have ad blockers, but nothing will stop new pages opening whenever I browse the internet. I have tried blocking sites individually, but they still appear - even after being blocked. I am a bit of a technophobe, and don't even know what malware is, but have followed the instructions on your site in the hope that you may be able to help me. In the meantime I can't allow my children to use this computer because of the nature of these pages. Thanks in advance!
