Getting Annoying Little Popups When I Click On Anything With My Mouse

Thanks to everyone for your input, I don't know much about computers and was never comfortable doing too much with them. Changing the mouse out was simple enough though, I did think I'd have to do that for this problem. I'll plug the problem mouse into the laptop later, and see if it does the same thing there.

Yes Maam! ;) I'm on the laptop now using using the problem mouse, and it's doing the same thing with the popups. I'll get a new one soon to replace it. My husband said I was probably wearing the mouse out because I'm on the computer so much. :D He belongs to no forums or social media and hardly uses the computer at all. If he's researching something or shopping for something or sending an occasional email, that's about it.
 
I have popups all the time on my newish laptop, a few on my smartphone. Nothing to do with mice.
I use Chrome mostly. Yes, it is very annoying and the trend is increasing...they are in some forums. I have an adblock. It takes time to go into your browser settings and reject popups and even that will not eliminate
all of them. They make it difficult on purpose.

The problem wasn't ads, though. More akin to an identifier or drop down menu.
