Im getting popups behind the window I'm looking at even though popups are blocked. just wanted to mention this.

getting from the following sites: mackeeper.com, mackeeperapp.mackeeper.com, mf.sitescout.com, backgroundalert.com, lightinthebox.com, moneymetals.com, theironwing.com

if I go to privacy> exceptions, it appears I can block them from showing up a second time.
