    ADWcleaner won't help. It's a web push notification so block it or remove it. Instructions for common browsers are given here:

    As Callender mentioned most modern browsers have support to block requests which you want to turn on.

    What you are seeing though is exclusively a popup though and you want to make sure you have these sorts of setting turned on in your browser. This is for Firefox but all modern browsers can do this just an example.

    You also want to install an adblocker extension like ABP or uBlock or both.

    Nuh, I browse porn from A to Z and I have never seen this. It can happen on any webpage, even a legitimate one.
