I think there was a way to force new windows to become new tabs instead, but that's not really helpful... I'd advice you to use a different browser if you must, while you attempt to get this fixed. Here's a link to a portable Opera.

Getting browser popups used to be a common symptom of being infected by spyware, typically bundled with many P2P applications. Have you installed any downloaded software lately - especially anything P2P or Warez related?

Like others are saying, you need to give your PC a virus scan.

Dr Web Cureit is good, also Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool - both come as live cd.
I'd run regcleaner too for good measure

I guess I'll try that.
