Whenever I click to start putting details in the active field on browser web page a new window opens with advertise. I have to close this every time. This happens also when I click on a youtube video link or any active tab.

I am fed-up.. I have stopped all plug-ins and add-ons, installed the browser again... still the problem persists.

Help!

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
