Multiple web sites opening.

There's a freeware pop-up stopper version available here:

Unfortunately more and more web-hosting sites are doing this multiple window advertising. Pop-up ad stoppers are the only way to prevent the additional windows.

One way is to go into Internet options, select the security tab & choose custom level, scroll down to Scripting & set it to prompt. However this will basically make web pages inpossible to view since all these annoying pop-ups are the result of scripts on the web page your trying to view.

As suggested pop-up stoppers are the way to go, I use ZoneAlarm Pro, in the newer versions it has a new option called Privacy, which so far has worked great for stopping most pop-ups of the nature your refering to, while leaving the harmless ones alone

Another stand alone program is AdSubtract, I've used it & it works great.

Since 3 is a magic number here is a third pop up stopper. I have used this one and am quite happy with it. And free is in my price range...:)

When you get a barrage of pop-ups like that, press Alt+F4 to shutdown the active window. You have to do this quickly because you want to shutdown all popups as well as the last one before it starts the code to launch new popup window. After that, never visit that site again because some of the popup windows will actually infect your PC with viruses.

Also, try one of the ad stoppers mentioned above.
