What is this "colonize.com" "pop-under" window? Why do I always see it when I go to mousepad? Is there any way to get rid of it?
I don't mind banner ads, I know they support the site, but I really HATE pop-anything (up, or under) windows.

The pop-under ads appear because the ad service MousePlanet uses is sending them. When a website deals with an ad service, the site basically leases out a portion of its source code to the ad service to insert ad content. In this case, the ad service is inserting pop-under ads.
Ad revenue is important to the survival of content sites like MousePlanet; it doesn't take more than a moment to close the pop-under ads when you're done with the site.
This thread (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1454) has some suggestions from other MousePadders about how to deal with the pop-unders.
