Just set block pop-up under tools > options to block them.

You can also use Adblock Plus to block add's too.

Settings not working for me but that addon is working great. This problem is very much irritating when you visit TrainEnquiry.com

Adblock plus should help a lot here. It can block all images from the pop up windows too, and/or the whole pop up too.
But if it isn't doing, then you can the URL's of the pop up's manually to the list to block. And from then it won't show them.

This will work in case of Indian railways. (for chrome)

It doesn't works mate, at least in case of indianrail.gov.in and trainenquiry.com

Well.. in my case (FF 10.0.1), adblock did helped in blocking pop up's from trainenquiry.com! Maybe you didn't subscribed to a good list.

I think OP better scan the HDD using MalwareBytes AntiMalware and Spybot S and D - they will find something for sure and clean them or he can post a hijackthis log in here.

Yeah it will be better to scan with Spybot S and D. Then after cleaning up browse safely with Adblock plus and Flash block installed in Firefox

use noscript addon as it is much better than any other addon for any browser(chrome similar one is just a poor imitation because of chrome source code restrictions).it is a bit inconvenient in its default whitelist based configuration(but also most secure in this config).

I think there could also be some malware. Also, check if there is any malware in your machine.
