Samsung advertising space. Nothing to do with any carrier or Google for that matter.

You also have to consider some of these advertising things you are getting is from free apps you've downloaded so they can generate revenue.

Random pop ups would have me puzzled too koolblue! No one likes unexpected items with our phones. Are you doing something specific when the pop ups appear? For example, will you be in email and then get the pop up for a game? Are they accompanied by any error or force close message? Are the pop ups for apps you have already installed on your phone?
