Question about ads [View all]

I notice lately that when I'm online, searching different web sites including DU all of a sudden I'll get a vocal ad for different products.

I never had this before and I am not aware of downloading anything that would cause this.

Does anyone have any ideas of what might be causing the problem?

I did a system restore back to the 21st but just had another ad so that didn't solve the problem.

I am using IE 11 and centurylink is my provider.
