Just in the last few days I'm getting pop unders if that's the correct term. Haven't had those for what seems like years. Most are those "lower my utilities" that I remember getting long ago. I don't know where to go to see if something has changed that is now allowing them.

Other Info
don't know how to get info for the other 5 areas
We'll need more info. Is this using IE9 listed in your specs? Happens randomly, or at startup, on certain sites, etc? Happens on other browsers as well? Try running AdwCleaner and see if it can find the culprit.
