It sounds like your computer has been infected with adware. Adware is any malicious software which installs itself without the knowledge or consent of the user. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unscrupulous advertisers who use adware to promote their products and/or services. You will need a anti spyware software program to remove them. There are several free programs so you don't need to spend a dime. I recommend Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft's Ad Aware. Both programs are free and easy to use. You can find them at http://www.filehippo.com/software/antispyware/
Once you have installed both programs, update them and run a scan. Be sure to quarantine any suspicious files.

run a virus scan. Also if you don't already have them, get Spybot Search and Destroy (spybot.com) and CCleaner (formerly crap cleaner @ ccleaner.com)
run them right away.
