Are the popups and ads malware? Probably not.
F-Secure's protection scores top ratings in independent antivirus tests, for example http://www.av-comparatives.org/
I suggest you take a look at an ad blocker, example https://adblockplus.org They block ads and popups.
Antivirus software blocks malware in case you didn't know

I can only agree with NikK. From your post, you seem to be expecting F-Secure to block ads and popups, when it's not designed to do so, unless of course the ads / popups are malicious. Using the correct tools for the job often avoids disappointment.
If you suspect the ads / popups may be being triggered by something on your computer, you may wish to run a scan with http://www.malwarebytes.org which can find and remove adware and PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) such as toolbars which may be generating popups.
Let us know if you require any further help.
