get malwarebytes and scan your computer for malware. or Spybot search and destroy.

Switch to Firefox, install the 'AdBlock Plus' add-on ...

Your machine is likely infected with adware.

SUPERAntiSpyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/

They have a free version and it's excellent at detecting and removing adware.

Download and install SUPER, update it, do a full system scan and quarantine what it finds.

Then do a quick scan with SUPER on a regular basis.

For starters, block 3rd party cookies;
â–ºFIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy> top slot, drop menu, tick "Firefox will use custom settings..."> Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'
& Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'

IE does not have exceptional "3rd party" blocking. For that reason, and many other security related ones (especially 'active scripting' rubbish), it should not be used except for sub-standard websites or Windows updates...but if you must know:
INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:
here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' & 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.

Much more can be done but this is a starting point.
