Pop Unders

I've been having a problem with a certain pop under lately. I don't use IE, but other people use it in this PC and everytime it's opened there's this annoying window which shows up automatically. It hasn't happened with Firefox, but yesterday I noticed it saved the page on my desktop with the Firefox icon (which is my default browser). The link directs to a casino page, www.888.com.

I've never dealt with pop unders before, so I was wondering if there's any way to stop them or even if it could be malware since no one's loading any pages related to it, it opens by itself. Ad-Aware and Spybot don't detect anything and pop up blockers obviously don't help.
