I came across a really useful site produced by The Japan Foundation, which keeps a list of all the best websites for learning Japanese. It is very well organised and seems to have nearly all the best sites on it. However, JCJP isn't mentioned on there at all! Surely this needs to be changed? :D

When I first clicked on it, it tried to tell me my computer was infected and I needed to download something to get rid of it, so I closed the supposed ad. Then I clicked on it the 2nd time, and got the actual page. Yay me!
O.o Really? That is bizzare. The Japan Foundation is an organisation set up by the Japanese government to promote internation cultural exchange, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. So it is a very safe website and there isn't even any use of advertising on their site.
The pop-up you saw might have been from adverts on JCJP? Some of these adverts are known to be a problem. If it's not this, then I'd be a little concerned that your computer already had a spyware problem which caused the malicious pop-up to appear.- Okay, I logged into JCJP on another account (which I haven't donated on, meaning ads are shown), then simply clicked the 'Comments' link on this post and immediately got an advertising pop-up... from only clicking the 'Comments' link! This also happened when I logged in on other browsers too.
Basically, the first time you click a link on JCJP social feeds page brings up a pop-up advert (even if it's just something like the show comments link)! At least you don't have to worry about what I said regarding spyware. Recommendation now is to donate so you don't have to see these adverts. :P 
Thanks for the link :D ive been trying to learn words in japanese for a week or so now, since my main reason is just simply anime :P im still trying to learn those first 103 kanji that grade schoolers learn or whatever and its so tough :/- Ahh, okay. I probably didn't notice the pop-up to begin with. Thanks for clarifying the pop-up issue though!
