Pop-ups on new laptop

Hi all. I purchased an HP Pavilion laptop last week and I have everything set up. The only annoyance is recurring pop-up ads for DropBox and some Cloud storage, both of which I initially declined. I have no use for either.

Does anyone know a way to make the pop-up prompts to register for those services go away permanently?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
