The ads in MileTracker from USA Today are controlled by a 3rd party and some of them do funky things that wouldn't happen if they were viewed in a traditional web browser. I can promise you it's not intentional. Nothing is ever intended to pop-up or pop-under.

If you're seeing this problem with MileTracker from USA Today, switch to MilePort (mileport.com). The guts of the app are the same and you're much less likely to have problems with mischievous ads. It'll even use the same .settings file which it'll ask for you when you install and run it for the first time.
