I’m probably stepping into an on-going conversation, but it sounds like you have some “adware” on your computer. This happened to me recently.

I recommend you consider installing and running AdMedic: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php <http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php>>. It is shareware and well a donation.
