sounds dumb, but i'd try Avast , and scan it, also spybot S&D

a scan with just one AV software aint enough really, then, if they dont find anything, i would start worrying :P


actually, i remember summat similar, about 5 weeks ago. I kept getting links popping up over some words, sayying "click here" especially on the forums. It has stopped now, and i guess maybe a MS update has fixed it, or maybe avast has fixed it.
Try and run avast, and then update yer MS AV program....




The day finally came....... I GIVE NIC ADVICE ! :P

I've had that too! Not anymore though. It's really annoying.

Wouldn't hurt to put Malawarebytes Antimalware through it as well!

I actually installed pop up blocker or summat, that blocks upto 200 Google ads per day, then ya pay more for better protection.

My advice: go to => Start -> control panel -> uninstall a program and look in that list if you can find something that dont belong there.. i had the same issue after the mrs installed some shit some weeks back!

If I see suspect things i download HitmanPro and let it run. This program finds all the malware and stuff on the pc.

HiJackThis also works wonders. Scans your entire computer for programs running on the background.
