Do you mean new small windows (popups)?
Tools->Options->Content->Block popup windows
Does it help you?
no they are not small pop up windows. I have pop-up blocker . These only appear at the bottom of the screen. When I click on them they open a new page.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
