It is from your computer unfortunately. We do not have any Google ads, adsense, etc. on the site.

Might try this Dawgy: http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware.php

Also you might change the screen resolution on your computer so that image fits full size in the window verses overflowing. I noticed your screen zoom is at 100% so changing the display resolution will correct that.....unless it's intentional. :thumbsup:

JD I use this free product in conjunction with traditional anti-virus. It's saved my butt more than once:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Download it, install it and run a scan.

its some kind of malware or something. my work computer did that real bad on internet explorer. had to reset to original setting or something to fix it. plus go into your programs and uninstall stuff you don't know about and that was recently installed.

Ad-aware, Avast, etc... all will work and clean it up. Get them here for free: http://download.cnet.com/windows/.

Spending too much time on Yellowbullet will do that JerDawg. :lol:

X2, I tell friends to load it and run a scan and they typically find two or three hundred pieces of malware.

FWIW - I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes on my Windows 8.1/64 bit laptop which has only had McAfee's trial anti-virus software on it which expired over a year ago............Malwarebytes detected zero threats.

Guess credit goes to Windows 8.

Try Bitdefender or http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-anti-virus-scan?ICID=INT1676497

Some larger organizations will provide free virus protection software to their employees. I can get Norton's or McAfee's free, but I have picked up viruses with both companies. Windows is the most targeted OS, so don't expect that you are virus free.

Rare that I got infected on Mac OS in the past.

So I ran the Malware dealy and it found a dozen or so "threats". How do I know if it is really something I need to quarantine or if I'm about to make things worse by shutting off the wrong stuff...?
(I'm not really having any issues with my pc, saw this thread and thought let's see what it finds...)

I have never had any negative effects quarantining what it identified. I felt it was worth the risk rather than the alternative of some piece of malware lurking in my computer.

Jeff,......if you run the program, it should/will tell you which "items" are quarantined and you have the choice to either delete them or keep them quarantined. I delete them if any items come up quarantined.
