really annoying pop-unders [View all]

Is anyone else getting a popunder that comes with a bunch of annoyingfeatures? Netflix is bad enough. These have google based searches and generally say "please take our survey to win aprise and prented to be from the site you're visiting- like DailyKos for example.

Several of these popunders come with sound which rings like a cell phone.

Is this a virus? I'm on IE8.

Don't give me any condescending snark about it because I work within financial communities whose proprietary software runs on IE only. Besides, Chrome's resolution on graphics is terrible.
