Help Why does my Thunderbolt keep trying to open this window?

Hi, I just signed up here so that I could ask this question. I'm not the most tech savvy person so I need serious help. For the past couple of months (every once in a while) when I click on something on a webpage, my Thunderbolt opens this smaller window...

data:text/html,%3Cscript%3Ewindow.close();%3C/script%3E

I don't know what this is. I've tried clearing out everything (cache, history, cookies, bookmarks, etc). I've cleared out the data from the internet app also but this keeps happening. Is this a virus or what? I've had this phone for 2 & a half years but it's only been doing this for the last few months.

Please help.
 
It's Javascript to close a window. Is it a virus? Could be. Or it could be something else. It could be the web page sending you a popup, and you have a popup closer running (an ad blocker).
