I had a weird one myself the other day -- I tried logging onto yahoogroups and 
got a message from Norton that it had blocked the page because a malicious 
add-on had been downloaded or installed.  I was using IE8.  When I went back to 
yahoogroups it went fine. I never saw similar warnings after that, so 
presumably Norton caught and handled whatever it was (at least I hope it did).

So back to your problem, you may have a virus or adware on your system.  But if 
your virus scans don't catch it, I don't know how to tell you to proceed.
Good luck!

  Hello!
  I don't know where to ask for help, other than this list, so I decide to ask 
here.
  When I read c++ tutorials(That I'm doing now) or something else using 
internet explorer, I get messages like ad served by, play casino, and like that.
  It's no pop ups, just this junk on almost any homepage I'm visiting.
  I know that this junk is'nt on any of the homepages, so there must be some 
virus or something in my computer.
  I'm using avast, and I scanned the computer, but avast didn't found anything.
  SO, could you help me please?
