Maybe its just your Broadbands way of adverts.
Also you could try and do a scan to see if its something unrelated

Did you install the Messenger Plus! sponsor?
If so you can unistall it by going to Add/Remove programs(start > control panel > Add/Remove programs)

Download Ad-aware
Scan for adware and then look for dodgy things in the add and remove list (888) and remove =p

You most likely have some Spyware/Ad-aware

As people have said, scan your computer with the latest definition list of several scanners and remove as much as you can.
I use Ad Muncher for a popup/ad remover. Best ever. For the people complaining it isn't free than there is a way to get it without paying a cent, using TrialPay.
