Lately, on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2, I'll be on the internet and suddenly the App Store opens up and wants me to buy or download an app. Is there a way to shut this off it is very annoying.

If it's an App Store link that you're tapping, you'll be directed to the App Store automatically. The only way to shut it off is to disable "Installing Apps" in Settings - General - Restrictions. This will prevent the App Store from opening, but if you want to purchase/install an app, you'll have to enable it again. Disabling this will also hide the App Store app.
