Pop-ups on new laptop

Hi all. I purchased an HP Pavilion laptop last week and I have everything set up. The only annoyance is recurring pop-up ads for DropBox and some Cloud storage, both of which I initially declined. I have no use for either.

Does anyone know a way to make the pop-up prompts to register for those services go away permanently?
