It means that a website tried to display a pop up on your screen and windows stopped it from doing this. Your probably wondering why pop ups are blocked. Sometimes pop ups contain links to malicious URLS which can scam PC user and obtain personal information for idenity. Pop ups can also try to download software that contains other malware. So the best defense is to stopped pop ups before they can help cybercriminals
