not happening with me but
you probably have some hidden ad toolbar running in system background...its not coming from madjacks, that i know.
if your not using mozilla firefox browser try it and put the pop-blocker on.
i was on another person's computer last weekend and they were getting the same - something associated w/ the bing toolbar.
go into your computer's control panel and see what programs are running..if you don't reconize them, google them.
Josh might see this and suggest some sweepers that might find unwanted programs plus other help.
good luck.

==================================
Let's try a different route this time - I use adblock plus on my personal computer and it has helped keep popups to a minimum and on some sites it will block the annoying advertising video that runs before the actual video you clicked on.
Click here - https://adblockplus.org/
Install for your browser
Test it out
==================================
Dunclock & Invesetment Exec are also correct - You probably have some sort of frustrating malware or toolbar that was added. If you know when this all started, this is what I would do
Download ccleaner - It will download when you click this link - http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup419.exe
Install it - I would uncheck all options except for create a link in start button and on desktop
I would run the cleaner first by clicking run cleaner
then go to registry - click scan for issues - then fix selected issues - then yes to back up - then fix all - then close
Now if you know when the issues started we can go see if we can uninstall from this program
Go to Tools on the left hand side - It takes you the uninstall programs section
Then using the scroll bar - Scroll until you can see date installed - 3rd Column
Click that column so that it shows most recent to oldest installations - Hint click it twice
Take a look at the programs around the date that the issues started and see if anything looks suspicious
I would recommend not uninstalling until more research is done - You could delete something that is needed and it would cause even bigger issues - feel free to post any of the program names here and we can see if it needs to be removed
==================================
Last thing to do - Download malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp_form/
Fill out the info and they will email you a link
From there download and install - It's been a while but I remember that you want to make sure that you choose the free version and not the shareware (limited time 30 day free trial)
Run a full scan - Can take 1 - 4 hours - and quarantine/remove any items that are found
==================================
That's a good start - Report back what you find

I've had what you have and it's not an easy thing to get rid of. I don't remember the details but there was a lot involved getting rid of it.
