Occasionally in Safari when I download a web-page, especially an image storing site, I get an additional web-page behind it, usually from one of the gaming websites. Does anyone know how I can prevent this?

No it is not a pop-up, I have blocked them. It is an additional gambling (advertisement) web-page beneath and hidden by the one that I have requested. Consequently, when I close the requested web-page the gambling one (sometimes more than one) is still there.
 
ggjstudios, where did you get the option to block window resizing? That does my head in :)

Ah! That is another problem, I just live with that but would like to know how to stop it.

I don't have the "Block Window Resizing" in my Safari menu as is shown in ggjstudios post. My Mac Book Pro is 2 years old.

I didn't read carefully enough. I thought you were asking about the Block Pop-Up Windows. The Block Window Resizing is part of SafariStand, which offers a number of helpful features to Safari, such as customizable right-click options, like the one I described here, for searching the MR forums.
