This may be an old issue but its new to me. I am seeing the same "miracle cream" ad showing up on all sites (mine or not mine) that show google image ads. Can anyone shed some light? Has my browser been corrupted?

Are you logged into google? Personalized ads? Delete all cookies in your browser, cache too, shut down browser and start again...

I'd check your hosts file in your Windows system directory.

ha ha back at you... Even Macs have Hosts files (hidden)... they just don't have Windows system directories.
Switch to (install if not installed) FireFox or Chrome. See if that behavior continues.

To check your hosts file, open Terminal > type 'nano /etc/hosts' and press enter
If you need to edit it, you should enter 'sudo nano /etc/hosts'
I would try Firefox first, and if its Safari you can reset it; Safari > Reset Safari...

(Sorry, your post about using a Mac hadn't shown up when I wrote mine)
