It could be a browser plugin that you authorized. You can try disabling plugins / add-ons. Or try another browser that might not have it installed. If it is actual malware you could also try spybot search and destroy.

What is the url that it wants to take you to? Or if you can't tell, what is the destination or path when you click?

Let us know if the fix BloodyBaroness posted works for you.

On my Mac, the words Google Ads do nothing. I'll try to remember at work- if anything's infected, it'd be my work computer.

Firefox was crashing like crazy a few months back and I tried it. Nothing about it really bothered me, and it syncs everything up nicely. I'm not married to it or anything, and would gladly go back to another browser. I hate how Google tracks you anyway.

What about Opera or Safari?

I'll give 'em a whirl. At the moment, Chrome is being nice.

I've tried alternate browsers a while back but there is one function in IE that I just cannot live without. That is the ability to save a URL to my desktop with just a right click. I use that CONSTANTLY when I am searching for things on the net.

Maybe other browsers have implemented that by now?

I seem to remember reading that some ISPs are now injecting stuff like this into your web pages. Is it happening on other sites as well?

There's nothing like that happening on my PC - have tried both IE and Firefox.
